Suggestion of chintz (4)

I believe the answer is:

hint

'suggestion' is the definition.
(I know that suggestion can be written as hint)

'of chintz' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'HINT' is hidden within 'chintz'.

(Other definitions for hint that I've seen before include "Indirect clue" , "'Slight indication, indirect suggestion (4)'" , "suspicion" , "Tip - small amount" , "Small trace; clue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
