Crossword Genius

Disbelief is represented crudely in it (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incredulity

'disbelief' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'represented crudely in it' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'crudely'+'in'+'it'='crudelyinit'
'crudelyinit' with letters rearranged gives 'INCREDULITY'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for incredulity that I've seen before include "Disbelief" , "Scepticism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
