Crossword Genius

Sticky and coarse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tacky

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sticky' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'coarse' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tacky that I've seen before include "Slightly sticky; in poor taste" , "Gummy -- tasteless" , "Gaudy" , "Sticky - vulgar" , "Sticky; showing poor taste" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
