Disgrace or public shame (8)
I believe the answer is:
ignominy
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'disgrace' is the first definition.
(I know that disgrace can be written as ignominy)
'public shame' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for ignominy that I've seen before include "Public dishonour" , "Public shame or disgrace" , "terrible disgrace?" , "State of disgrace or humiliation" , "Disgrace, odium" .)
