And Di is suffering contempt (7)
I believe the answer is:
disdain
'contempt' is the definition.
(I know that contempt can be written as disdain)
'and di is suffering' is the wordplay.
'suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'di'+'is'='anddiis'
'anddiis' anagrammed gives 'DISDAIN'.
(Other definitions for disdain that I've seen before include "Think (something) unworthy" , "Contempt for something unworthy of notice" , "Think unworthy, scorn" , "Haughtiness" , "no respect" .)
