Crossword Genius

Most just stare if confused (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fairest

'most just' is the definition.
('fair' is associated in meaning with 'just')

'stare if confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'stare'+'if'='stareif'
'stareif' is an anagram of 'FAIREST'.

(Other definitions for fairest that I've seen before include "'''Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ... of them all'' (Snow White's stepmother) (7)'" , "Most beautiful" , "Very lovely" .)
