Crossword Genius

Polished table leg, antagonising hosts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegant

'polished' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'table leg antagonising hosts' is the wordplay.
'hosts' indicates a hidden word.
'ELEGANT' can be found hidden inside 'table leg antagonising'.

(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Dignified and graceful" , "Handsome" , "luxurious style?" , "Attractive and graceful or stylish" , "Polished" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
