Fruit named for its unsightly appearance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ugli

(Other definitions for ugli that I've seen before include "Unattractive-sounding fruit?" , "Citrus fruit cross (which sounds offensive!)" , "(Repulsive-looking?) fruit" , "Large juicy fruit with thick wrinkled skin" , "Mottled tangelo hybrid" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
