Crossword Genius

Fetching sliced cabbage at last (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cute

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

'sliced cabbage at last' is the wordplay.
'sliced' becomes 'cut' (similar in meaning).
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'cabbage' is 'e'.
'cut'+'e'='CUTE'

(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Endearingly pretty" , "Sweet, attractive" , "Smart" , "Delightfully pretty or dainty" , "Fly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
