Crossword Genius

Among the last up, I did look silly! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stupid

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

'among the last up i did look' is the wordplay.
'among' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'STUPID' can be found hidden inside 'last up i did look'.

(Other definitions for stupid that I've seen before include "Not intelligent, thick" , "Barmy" , "Without much intelligence" , "Senseless" , "Idiot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
