Speak badly of (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traduce

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">speak badly of</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for traduce that I've seen before include "Speak ill of" , "Defame, slander" , "Malign -- rude act (anag)" , "'Malign, badmouth (7)'" , "Misrepresent in unfavourable way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Universal, the USA Today and The Independent.
