Complained a good bit, with foolish pride (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

griped

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'complained' is the definition.
(griping is a kind of complaining)

'a good bit with foolish pride' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'bit with foolish pride' becomes 'riped' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'riped'='GRIPED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for griped that I've seen before include "Complained persistently" , "Moaned constantly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
