disrespect

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

'up out of contempt' is the definition.
'disrespect' can be an answer for 'contempt' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'up out of' bit.

'desert pics ripped' is the wordplay.
'ripped' is an anagram indicator (letters ripped or torn up).
'desert'+'pics'='desertpics'
'desertpics' anagrammed gives 'DISRESPECT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disrespect that I've seen before include "Discourtesy" , "showing scorn" , "Rudeness" , "Lack of reverence" , "Contempt" .)
