Ingenious sting (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smart

This clue is a double definition.

'ingenious' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sting' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Bright; sting" , "Sort of card" , "Intelligent; sting" , "Posh" , "Sting - witty" .)

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