Crossword Genius

Fetching chopped artichoke at last (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cute

'fetching' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'chopped artichoke at last' is the wordplay.
'chopped' becomes 'cut' (similar in meaning).
'at last' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'artichoke' is 'e'.
'cut'+'e'='CUTE'

(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Attractive or quaint, as in America" , "Delightfully pretty or dainty" , "Attractive and quaint (4" , "Clever - attractive" , "Fly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
