Subtle distinction (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

nicety

nuance

'subtle distinction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nuance that I've seen before include "Subtle shade of meaning" , "Fine distinction" , "Subtle difference of meaning" , "Cue Ann into slight shade" , "Subtlety, nicety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph and the USA Today.
