Exposed as false (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debunked

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">exposed as false</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for debunked that I've seen before include "ruined reputation?" , "Showed to be false or incorrect" , "Showed up as false or exaggerated" , "Uncovered pretentious or false claims and ideas" , "Cut down to size!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
