Exposed to disrepute, ignoring order to be made up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comprised

'be made up' is the definition.
(to comprise is to constitute or make up)

'exposed to disrepute ignoring order' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'order' could be 'om' (Order of Merit) and 'om' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for comprised that I've seen is " Included".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
