Draw Times artist wearing suit (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attraction

'draw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'times artist wearing suit' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'tt' (two abbreviations for time).
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'suit' becomes 'action' ('action' can be a synonym of 'suit'**).
'tt'+'ra'='ttra'
'ttra' going within 'action' is 'ATTRACTION'.

(Other definitions for attraction that I've seen before include "Appeal" , "Magnetic force" , "Popular building/place" , "Drawing power" , "Interest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
