Painter has odd traits (6)
I believe the answer is:
artist
'painter' is the definition.
(painter is an example)
'odd traits' is the wordplay.
'odd' is an anagram indicator.
'traits' anagrammed gives 'ARTIST'.
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "Traits (anag)" , "A painter, sculptor or other creative person" , "One skilled in creative works" , "Creative individual" , "Creator of aesthetic works" .)
