Crossword Genius

A very small amount of sense (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

touch

This clue is a double definition.

'a very small amount' is the first definition.
(a touch of something is a small amount of it)

'sense' is the second definition.
(I know that touch is a sense)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for touch that I've seen before include "Deal with" , "Distinctive detail" , "off pitch" , "Manner of playing piano, say" , "Affect; a small amount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
