Appearance presented in association with rebel Jack (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

facade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'presented in association with rebel jack' is the wordplay.
'presented in association' becomes 'fa' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'rebel jack' becomes 'cade' (I've seen this in other clues).
'fa'+'cade'='FACADE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for facade that I've seen before include "Series of notes" , "External surface" , "ballet" , "(False) outward appearance" , "Building's front" .)
