Stiff and pompous (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stilted

'stiff and pompous' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stilted that I've seen before include "Awkward" , "Stiff and pompous" , "Stiff, self-conscious" , "Stiff and unnatural" , "Bombastic (of speech, writing)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and the Newsday.com.
