Crossword Genius

Plain rude -- and no different (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unadorned

'plain' is the definition.
('unadorned' can be similar in meaning to 'plain')

'rude and no different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram.
'rude'+'and'+'no'='rudeandno'
'rudeandno' anagrammed gives 'UNADORNED'.

(Other definitions for unadorned that I've seen before include "Not decorated, plain and simple" , "Plain, undecorated" , "Without embellishment" , "Simple and plain as around den" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
