Crossword Genius

Decent chalet, I suspect (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethical

'decent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'chalet i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates an anagram.
'chalet'+'i'='chaleti'
'chaleti' is an anagram of 'ETHICAL'.

(Other definitions for ethical that I've seen before include "In accordance with approved moral standards" , "Morally correct, honourable" , "Moral, principled" , "Approved moral behaviour" , "Morally right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
