Disdain shown by agency worker after working in court (8)
I believe the answer is:
contempt
'disdain' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'agency worker after working in court' is the wordplay.
'agency worker' becomes 'temp'.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'working' becomes 'on'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'court' becomes 'ct'.
'temp' put after 'on' is 'ontemp'.
'ontemp' inserted inside 'ct' is 'CONTEMPT'.
'shown by' is the link.
(Other definitions for contempt that I've seen before include "Disdain or disrespect, perhaps or court" , "Beneath this is despicable" , "ridicule" , "Feeling of despising something - perhaps court?" , "Feeling of disdain, perhaps of court" .)
