Deceptive outward appearance (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

facade

veneer

(Other definitions for veneer that I've seen before include "Thin wooden covering" , "Face" , "A surface coating or skin" , "Thin outer covering, as fixed to wood" , "Thin decorative covering of fine wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Times and The Telegraph.
