Something attractive about holy person? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lustre

'something attractive about holy person?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'something attractive about holy person?' is the wordplay.
'something attractive' becomes 'lure' (something which lures people).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'holy person?' becomes 'st' (short for saint).
'lure' enclosing 'st' is 'LUSTRE'.

(Other definitions for lustre that I've seen before include "Period" , "Gentle sheen/glow" , "Rustle with shine on surface" , "Result (anag) -- gloss" , "Radiance; reflective surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
