Fastidiousness for exactness (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicety

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fastidiousness' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'exactness' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nicety that I've seen before include "Fastidiousness" , "shade?" , "Delicacy" , "Refinement" , "Degree of precision" .)

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