11d - Hoodlum, one in a suit, who may be better than he appears
(5,7)

I've got: - O - G - / DIAMOND. Is the first word DODGY?

(Earlier, when I had fewer letters, I looked on Solution Wizard and it's only suggestion was CONGO PEAFOWL!

A hoodlum can be a "rough"

Many thanks Rusty and Rossim!

I misinterpreted the clue. As it said "one in a suit" I thought the first word had to begin with D followed by the rest of the suit (IAMOND) in the second word.

Rough diamond

SuzyQ, I think you missed seeing that this was solved weeks ago.
