A movement regarded with contempt? (4)
I believe the answer is:
jerk
'a movement' is the definition.
(jerk is a kind of movement)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jerk that I've seen before include "Yank; preserve (beef)" , "fool" , "Twitch" , "kind of lift in competition" , "preserved beef" .)
