An insult (7)

I believe the answer is:

affront

'an insult' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for affront that I've seen before include "Snub" , "Insult to one's face" , "Offend the modesty or values of (someone)" , "Offend; offence" , "Rant off over insult" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
