Elfin (6)

I believe the answer is:

impish

'elfin' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for impish that I've seen before include "Teasingly mischievous" , "Wicked" , "Mischievous like small fairy" , "Playful" , "Naughty" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Telegraph, the Wall Street Journal, The Sun, the L.A. Times Sunday, The Guardian and The A.V Club.
