Crossword Genius

Draw cheers when looking up pamphlet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attract

'draw' is the definition.
(attracting is a kind of drawing)

'cheers when looking up pamphlet' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (I've seen this in other clues).
'when looking up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'pamphlet' becomes 'tract' ('tract' can be a synonym of 'pamphlet').
'ta' in reverse letter order is 'at'.
'at'+'tract'='ATTRACT'

(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "Arouse interest of" , "Draw to oneself" , "Appeal to, draw towards" , "Entice" , "Allure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
