The little chap's skills (4)
I believe the answer is:
arts
This clue might be a double definition.
'the little chap's' is the first definition.
'Art's' can be an answer for 'chap's'. I'm unsure of the 'the little' bit.
'skills' is the second definition.
(art can mean a skill or talent)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "'Poetry, music, painting (4)'" , "A degree" , "Aesthetic creations for a star" , "Non-science subjects" , "Master of --" .)
