'more charming' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'it rained terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'it'+'rained'='itrained'
'itrained' anagrammed gives 'DAINTIER'.

'thats' acts as a link.
