Pleasant to only lose a few? (7)
I believe the answer is:
winsome
'pleasant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'only lose a few?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'few?' could be 'some' (associated in meaning) and 'some' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'win' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for winsome that I've seen before include "Charming - sweet" , "Attractive and fresh" , "Charming, engaging" , "Fetching" , "Attractive and appealing" .)
