Crossword Genius

Relish pertness (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sauce

This clue is a double definition.

'relish' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pertness' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for sauce that I've seen before include "sharp language" , "Cranberry or brandy, say" , "Relish or impertinence" , "Cause for relish" , "Dressing served with food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
