Sham; artificial

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pseudo

I believe this is a double definition.

'sham' is the first definition.
(I know that sham can be written as pseudo)

'artificial' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for pseudo that I've seen before include "False - souped (anag)" , "Use pod (anag.)" , "artificial" , "Pretentious, insincere" , "Dose up (anag.); pretentious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
