Some find Helen an attractive woman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elena

'woman' is the definition.

'some find helen an attractive' is the wordplay.
'some find' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'found' mean this).
'ELENA' is hidden within 'helen attractive'.

(Other definitions for elena that I've seen before include "Spanish girl" , "Girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
