Crossword Genius

Desire no part of this temptress (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

siren

'this temptress' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'desire no part' is the wordplay.
'part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SIREN' can be found hidden inside 'desire no'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for siren that I've seen before include "Temptress - warning device" , "Warning device, alluring woman" , "Loud whistle or sailors' enchantress" , "Loud warning device" , "Vamp; alarm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
