Crossword Genius

Most pleasing convert in sect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicest

'most pleasing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'convert in sect' is the wordplay.
'convert' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'in'+'sect'='insect'
'insect' is an anagram of 'NICEST'.

(Other definitions for nicest that I've seen before include "Most pleasant or fine" , "Most appealing" , "Most attractive" , "Best" , "I scent in the most pleasant way" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
