Incurring resentment or unpopularity (9)

I believe the answer is:

invidious

(Other definitions for invidious that I've seen before include "Offensively discriminating" , "Causing resentment" , "Likely to arouse or incur resentment in others" , "Unreasonably discriminating" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
