A little churlish to Omar's mum (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shtoom

'mum' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a little churlish to omar's' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a little bit of the clue).
'SHTOOM' is hidden in the letters of 'churlish to omars'.

(Other definitions for shtoom that I've seen before include "Quiet" , "Mum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
