Deplore, condemn (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

execrate

This clue is a double definition.

'deplore' is the first definition.
(execrating is a kind of deploring)

'condemn' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for execrate that I've seen before include "hate" , "Denounce or detract" , "Loudly disapprove" , "Harshly criticise" , "Utter curses with erect axe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
