Crossword Genius

Powder case is neat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compact

This clue is a triple definition!

'powder' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'case' is the second definition.
(compact is a kind of case)

'is neat' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for compact that I've seen before include "Agreement - brief" , "Condense" , "Compress; agreement" , "union" , "Dense; powder case" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
