Smart artist leaving clergyman (4)

I believe the answer is:

cute

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

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

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Appealing -- cunning" , "Clever - attractive" , "Location" , "Pretty or cunning" , "Small and attractive - cunning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
