Gild (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embellish

'gild' is the definition.
(I know that gild is a more specific form of embellish)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for embellish that I've seen before include "Ornament, improve by adding detail" , "Adorn" , "Make more attractive by adding ornament" , "Add ornamental details, make more colourful" , "Beautify" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
