Disparage some crude cryptic (5)

I believe the answer is:

decry

'disparage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some crude cryptic' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'DECRY' is hidden within 'crude cryptic'.

(Other definitions for decry that I've seen before include "Speak out against or disparage" , "Disparage - sounds lachrymose" , "Run down" , "Disparage, regard as unimportant" , "Publicly denounce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
