"Ornery" sort (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuss

'ornery sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cuss that I've seen before include "Oath; (annoying sort of) person" , "Stubborn person" , "Swear (slang)" , "Blaspheme" , "Use bad language (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
