Exclamation of disgust upon slipping back into the habit (3)
I believe the answer is:
bah
'exclamation of disgust' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bah that I've seen before include "Expression of disgust or contempt" , "Appalling!" , "Comic expression of contempt" , "''... Humbug'' Scrooge's cry" , "Exclamation of contempt or disgust - Scrooge used to say it" .)
