A look of being indifferent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloof

'indifferent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a look of' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'a'+'lo'+'of'='ALOOF'

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aloof that I've seen before include "Distant or stuck-up" , "Withdrawn, supercilious" , "Displaying supercilious reserve" , "Haughty and distant like a fool" , "apart from all else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
