Misshapen ear not decorated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ornate

'decorated' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'misshapen ear not' is the wordplay.
'misshapen' is an anagram indicator.
'ear'+'not'='earnot'
'earnot' anagrammed gives 'ORNATE'.

(Other definitions for ornate that I've seen before include "Baroque" , "Much-decorated" , "Highly decorative" , "Detailed" , "Richly decorative" .)

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