Prudence gets uncivil (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rude

'uncivil' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'prudence gets' is the wordplay.
'gets' indicates a hidden word.
'RUDE' is hidden in the letters of 'prudence'.

(Other definitions for rude that I've seen before include "Impolite - obscene" , "Robust - roughly made" , "discourtesy" , "Uncouth" , "Impertinent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
