Inclination to leave out the front entrance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchant

'entrance' is the definition.
(to entrance is to enchant or bewitch)

'inclination to leave out the front' is the wordplay.
'inclination' becomes 'penchant' (a penchant for something is an inclination for it).
'to leave out the front' means to remove the first letter (the letter at the front is removed).
'penchant' with its initial letter taken away is 'ENCHANT'.

(Other definitions for enchant that I've seen before include "Bewitch, charm" , "Delight or bewitch" , "transport" , "Fascinate - delight" , "Hypnotise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
