Less welcoming (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icier

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">less welcoming</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(to be icy is to behave unwelcomingly)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for icier that I've seen before include "rather cold" , "More glacial" , "More chilly" , "increasingly frigid" , "much less friendly" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
