Crossword Genius

Knockout with strength (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beauty

This clue is a double definition.

'knockout' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'strength' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for beauty that I've seen before include "- Salon; - spot" , "A quality pleasing to the senses" , "Excellent specimen" , "Stunner" , "Quality found in the eye of the beholder?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
