Faction's ostentatiousness (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'faction's' is the first definition.
(one side in a conflict or controversy)

'ostentatiousness' is the second definition.
(side can mean ostentatiousness or pretension)

(Other definitions for side that I've seen before include "group of players" , "Team - arrogance" , "Accompanying" , "part" , "Airs, conceit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
