Ross

I believe the answer is:

affront

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">deliberate insult</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for affront that I've seen before include "Offend; offence" , "Indignity" , "Snub" , "Offend the modesty or values of (someone)" , "Cause of outrage or offence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
