Exaggeratedly masculine (5)

I think it could be either:

macao

macho

'exaggeratedly masculine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for macho that I've seen before include "Affectedly virile" , "Ultra-masculine" , "Ostentatiously virile" , "Typically tough (guy)" , "Laddish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Mail.
