Rude call-out is heard in part (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loutish

'rude' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'call-out is heard in part' is the wordplay.
'in part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LOUTISH' is hidden in the letters of 'call out is heard'.

(Other definitions for loutish that I've seen before include "like a hooligan" , "uncouth and aggressive" , "Boorish" , "Ill-mannered and coarse, behaviour say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
