Daintily charming and showing some unselfishness (6)
I believe the answer is:
elfish
'daintily charming and' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some unselfishness' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ELFISH' is hidden within 'unselfishness'.
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elfish that I've seen before include "Tricky" , "Mischievous" .)
