I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is attractive' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'rolled turf' is the wordplay.
'rolled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters roll back).
'turf' becomes 'sward' (synonyms).
'sward' back-to-front is 'DRAWS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for draws that I've seen before include "Match results without winners" , "Raffles" , "lugs" , "Pulls" , "Sketches" .)
