Crossword Genius

Greatly delight church member (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charm

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

'church member' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'member' becomes 'arm' (arm is a kind of member**).
'ch'+'arm'='CHARM'

(Other definitions for charm that I've seen before include "Power of fascination" , "small ornament" , "Entrance, bewitch" , "Engaging quality" , "Win over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
