Chic or Sting? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smart

I believe this is a double definition.

'chic' is the first definition.
(I know that chic can be written as smart)

'sting?' is the second definition.
(I know that smart is a is a more specific form of the action of sting)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Elegant and stylish" , "Clean and stylish" , "Brainy" , "well-kept" , "Clever - feel mild pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
