Seduce some authentic eccentrics (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entice

'seduce' is the definition.
(I know that seduce is a more specific form of the action entice)

'some authentic eccentrics' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ENTICE' is hidden in the letters of 'authentic eccentrics'.

(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "Attract (by pleasure)" , "Coax" , "act like clickbait" , "Attract or persuade with offer" , "Allure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
