Crossword Genius

Strange one with a rum charm (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enamour

'charm' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'strange one with a rum' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a'+'rum'='arum'
'one' put after 'arum' is 'arumone'.
'arumone' anagrammed gives 'ENAMOUR'.

(Other definitions for enamour that I've seen before include "Fill with love" , "entrance" , "Our name (anag)" , "sweep one off one's feet" , "Charm, captivate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
