Decorates, embellishes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adorns

This clue is a double definition.

'decorates' is the first definition.
('adorn' can be a synonym of 'decorate')

'embellishes' is the second definition.
(adorning is a kind of embellishing)

(Other definitions for adorns that I've seen before include "Bedecks" , "decks" , "Adds ornamentation" , "'Decorates, embellishes (6)'" , "Decorates with ornaments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
