Was overly sweet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cloyed

'was overly sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cloyed that I've seen before include "Sickened by glutting with sweet things" , "Was excessively sweet or sentimental" , "Was cause of weariness" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Jonesin Crosswords, The Wall Street Journal and the Jonesin'.
