Suggestive look at electronic tablet held in both hands (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leer

'suggestive look' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'electronic tablet held in both hands' is the wordplay.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'tablet' becomes 'e' (E can mean ecstasy or an ecstasy tablet).
'held in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'both hands' becomes 'lr' (abbreviations for left and right**).
'e'+'e'='ee'
'ee' inserted inside 'lr' is 'LEER'.

'at' is the link.

(Other definitions for leer that I've seen before include "Lascivious gaze" , "Look lasciviously at" , "unpleasant look" , "Ogle, smirk" , "Suggestive or sneering look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
