More slippery, in a way (5)

I believe the answer is:

icier

'more slippery in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for icier that I've seen before include "with increased chance of freezing" , "More glacial" , "Colder even than 31 Across" , "More slippery" , "More treacherous" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the USA Today.
