Is now out to get me? Charming! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winsome

'charming' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'is now out to get me?' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'is'+'now'='isnow'
'isnow' is an anagram of 'winso'.
'winso'+'me'='WINSOME'

(Other definitions for winsome that I've seen before include "Charming - sweet" , "Attractive, engaging" , "Attractive - I'm so new (anag)" , "Fetching" , "Captivating" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
