Hate misuse of carbon here (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abhorrence

'hate' is the definition.
(abhorrence is a kind of hate)

'misuse of carbon here' is the wordplay.
'misuse of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'carbon'+'here'='carbonhere'
'carbonhere' anagrammed gives 'ABHORRENCE'.

(Other definitions for abhorrence that I've seen before include "hatred" , "Disgusted loathing" , "Hate" , "Feeling of revulsion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
