Crossword Genius

Very small, yet newsy — seen about (6-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teensy-weensy

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

'yet newsy seen about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'yet'+'newsy'+'seen'='yetnewsyseen'
'yetnewsyseen' with letters rearranged gives 'TEENSY-WEENSY'.

(Other definitions for teensy-weensy that I've seen before include "Very tiny" , "Very small" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
