Disdained to treat Ed's corn (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scorned

'disdained' is the definition.
('scorn' can be a synonym of 'disdain')

'treat ed's corn' is the wordplay.
'treat' is an anagram indicator.
'eds'+'corn'='edscorn'
'edscorn' with letters rearranged gives 'SCORNED'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for scorned that I've seen before include "Dismissed" , "Treated with contempt" , "''Hell hath no fury like a woman .. . . . . .''" , "Derided" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
