Unique - like a close guess? (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-off

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'a close guess?' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'one'.
'close guess?' becomes 'off' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'one'+'off'='ONE-OFF'

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for one-off that I've seen before include "Unique specimen" , "Not repeated, being a single event or object" , "Unrepeatable experience" , "Made or done as a single thing, not repeated" , "Happening only once" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
