Disdain, disrespect (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contempt

I believe this is a double definition.

'disdain' is the first definition.
(I know that disdain can be written as contempt)

'disrespect' is the second definition.
(I know that disrespect can be written as contempt)

(Other definitions for contempt that I've seen before include "Disregard for the rules of a court of law" , "bad behaviour in court" , "Wilful disrespect of authority" , "Feeling of dislike for, perhaps of court?" , "Open disrespect, to a court, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
