Inconvenience male in nightclub fashion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discommode

'inconvenience' is the definition.
(discommode can mean to cause inconvenience)

'male in nightclub fashion' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'nightclub' becomes 'disco' (a disco is a club for dancing).
'fashion' becomes 'mode' (synonyms).
'disco'+'mode'='discomode'
'm' going into 'discomode' is 'DISCOMMODE'.

(Another definition for discommode that I've seen is " Cause (someone) trouble or inconvenience".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
