Ross

I believe the answer is:

embellishment

(Other definitions for embellishment that I've seen before include "decorative detail" , "Additional beautification" , "Elaboration" , "Fictitious addition" , "Detail, often untrue, added to a story to make it more interesting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
