I believe the answer is:

opprobrium

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

'disgrace' is the definition.
(I know that opprobrium is a type of disgrace)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for opprobrium that I've seen before include "Obloquy" , "scandal, perhaps" , "Censure" , "State, cause, of disgrace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
