personable

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

'being prepossessing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'someone capable' is the wordplay.
'someone' becomes 'person' (synonyms).
'capable' becomes 'able' (synonyms).
'person'+'able'='PERSONABLE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for personable that I've seen is " Pleasant to be with".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
