Ambassador, cultured and exuberant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hearty

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

'ambassador cultured' is the wordplay.
'ambassador' becomes 'he' (His or Her Excellency).
'cultured' becomes 'arty' (I've seen this before).
'he'+'arty'='HEARTY'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hearty that I've seen before include "Vigorously healthy" , "Vigorous and in good spirits, being earthy" , "full of enthusiasm" , "Jovial fellow" , "Without reservation, satisfying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
