Less welcoming (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icier

'less welcoming' is the definition.
(to be icy is to behave unwelcomingly)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for icier that I've seen before include "rather cold" , "More glacial" , "More chilly" , "increasingly frigid" , "much less friendly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the LA Times.
