Derogatory (5)

I believe the answer is:

snide

'derogatory' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for snide that I've seen before include "Sneering, supercilious" , "Sneering in a sly way - dines out on it" , "Derogatory, sneering" , "Maliciously mocking" , "Supercilious, malicious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
