Scoundrel constructed Art Deco facades (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cad

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

'scoundrel' is the definition.
(cad is a kind of scoundrel)

'constructed art deco facades' is the wordplay.
'CAD' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cad that I've seen before include "A rotten chap, no integrity" , "One behaves dishonourably" , "That ain't no gentleman" , "A knave, real rotter" , "he's no gent" .)
