Crossword Genius

Greet odd features of curry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cry

'greet' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'odd features of curry' is the wordplay.
'odd features of' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
The alternating letters of 'curry' are 'CRY'.

(Other definitions for cry that I've seen before include "Sob or shout" , "produce tears" , "Don't . . . over spilt milk" , "Sound of pain or grief" , "Call" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
