Refined member caught in a net, unfortunately (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegant

'refined' is the definition.
(I know that refined can be written as elegant)

'member caught in a net unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'leg' (member can mean a limb).
'caught in' indicates putting letters inside.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'a'+'net'='anet'
'anet' is an anagram of 'eant'.
'leg' placed within 'eant' is 'ELEGANT'.

(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Tasteful and refined in appearance" , "Ingenious" , "Attractive and graceful or stylish" , "Dignified and graceful" , "Cleverly simple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
