Spurious imitation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sham

'spurious imitation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sham that I've seen before include "Counterfeit or insincere" , "Not what it seems to be" , "'Fake, pseudo (4)'" , "Pretence; bogus, false" , "False and phoney" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
