Deployed in fresco, a tin-glazed veneer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coating

'veneer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'deployed in fresco a tin-glazed' is the wordplay.
'deployed in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'COATING' is hidden within 'fresco a tin glazed'.

(Other definitions for coating that I've seen before include "Protective layer" , "film" , "Thin layer; covering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
