A crushing remark you attribute to (3-4)

I believe the answer is:

put-down

I believe this is a double definition.

'a crushing remark' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'attribute to' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'you' is the link.

(Other definitions for put-down that I've seen before include "Crushing remark" , "Snub" , "Humiliating remark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
