Answer
The Exact answer is UGLINESS.
Answer Explanation
The Correct Answer is Signs of age in Gus sadly showing unattractive quality Crossword Clue is "UGLINESS".
This clue is a cryptic one, requiring some wordplay to decipher. "Signs of age" suggest we're looking for a word related to aging or deterioration. "Gus sadly" indicates that we need to look for a synonym of "sadly" within the name "Gus." "Showing unattractive quality" hints at the definition of the word we're seeking, which is "ugliness."
When we put it all together, we find that "age in Gus" can be rearranged to form "UG," and "sadly" can be rearranged to form "S," which are then combined to give us "UGS." When we add "unattractive quality" to this, we get "UGLINESS," which matches the definition and fits the clue's requirements.
