False display (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pretence

(Other definitions for pretence that I've seen before include "it can't be true!" , "Sham" , "False show; make-believe" , "Act of make-believe" , "Make-believe, or false claim to merit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Evening Standard and The Washington Post Sunday.
