Insincere charm (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smarm

'insincere charm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smarm that I've seen before include "oil" , "Superficially ingratiating behaviour" , "Fawning" , "Obsequious flattery" , "Smooth talking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the New York Times.
