See detriment in personal appeal (5)
I believe the answer is:
charm
'personal appeal' is the definition.
'charm' can be an answer for 'appeal' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'personal' bit.
'see detriment' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'detriment' becomes 'harm' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'harm'='CHARM'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charm that I've seen before include "Lure" , "Delight; magical object" , "Beguile" , "Spell; ornament" , "Attractive manner" .)
