Feel disgust for foreign article about curse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loathe

'feel disgust for' is the definition.
(to loathe something is to be disgusted by it)

'foreign article about curse' is the wordplay.
'foreign article' becomes 'le'.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'curse' becomes 'oath' (synonyms).
'le' enclosing 'oath' is 'LOATHE'.

(Other definitions for loathe that I've seen before include "Abhor, execrate" , "dislike, to a great extent" , "Find repugnant" , "Feel strong disgust for" , "Feel hatred for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
