Crossword Genius

Somewhat towards arm (1,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

a trifle

'somewhat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'towards arm' is the wordplay.
'towards' becomes 'at'.
'arm' becomes 'rifle' (rifle is a kind of arm).
'at'+'rifle'='A TRIFLE'

(Other definitions for a trifle that I've seen before include "Slightly" , "somewhat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
