Crossword Genius

Mad Parisian, top bod acquiring condemnation (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disapprobation

'condemnation' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'mad parisian top bod' is the wordplay.
'mad' indicates an anagram.
'parisian'+'top'+'bod'='parisiantopbod'
'parisiantopbod' with letters rearranged gives 'DISAPPROBATION'.

'acquiring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disapprobation that I've seen before include "Intense moral disapproval" , "formal criticism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
