Decoration to annoy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruffle

I believe this is a double definition.

'decoration' is the first definition.
(ruffle is a kind of decoration)

'to annoy' is the second definition.
(ruffling is a kind of annoying)

(Other definitions for ruffle that I've seen before include "Disrupt smooth surface" , "Agitate" , "Ornamental frill; make disarranged" , "Aggravate" , "Upset the composure of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
