Contrived or false (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artificial

This clue is a double definition.

'contrived' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'false' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for artificial that I've seen before include "Bogus" , "Assumed" , "Kiss of life" , "Contrived, false" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
