Schmaltzy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mawkish

'schmaltzy' is the definition.
(I know that schmaltzy can be written as mawkish)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mawkish that I've seen before include "Insipid; maudlin" , "Effusively or insincerely emotional" , "Sentimental in maudlin way" , "Soppy" , "Sentimental, schmaltzy" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Universal and the L.A. Times Daily.
