To make over an attractive person is rather eccentric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oddish

'rather eccentric' is the definition.
(somewhat odd or eccentric)

'to make over an attractive person' is the wordplay.
'to make' becomes 'do' (eg to make or 'do' a meal).
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'an attractive person' becomes 'dish' (I've seen this before).
'do' in reverse letter order is 'od'.
'od'+'dish'='ODDISH'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for oddish that I've seen before include "Fairly unusual" , "kind of crackers" , "A bit peculiar" , "a little rum" , "Rather strange" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
