Sarcastic chap supports double entendre (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pungent

'sarcastic' is the definition.
('pungent' can be similar in meaning to 'sarcastic')

'chap supports double entendre' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'gent' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'supports' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (bottom letters provide a support for the top ones).
'double entendre' becomes 'pun' (I've seen this before).
'gent' after 'pun' is 'PUNGENT'.

(Other definitions for pungent that I've seen before include "spicy" , "Witty" , "bitter" , "Biting" , "Penetrating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
