I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'maybe more cuts' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'more'+'cuts'='morecuts'
'morecuts' with letters rearranged gives 'CUSTOMER'.

'will attract' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for customer that I've seen before include "The person who pays" , "Patron" , "'Buyer, client (8)'" , "Shop client" , "Shopper (or now rail passenger!)" .)
