Hardly basic (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acidic

'hardly basic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for acidic that I've seen before include "scathing?" , "Sarcastic or sour" , "Cutting" , "Tasting sharp or sour" , "Tart, sour" .)

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