Imagist set off in disgrace (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stigmatise

'disgrace' is the definition.
(stigmatise can mean to treat as a disgrace)

'imagist set off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'imagist'+'set'='imagistset'
'imagistset' anagrammed gives 'STIGMATISE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stigmatise that I've seen before include "Mark with disgrace" , "Regard as worthy of disgrace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
