Malign (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

defame

revile

'malign' is the definition.
(I know that malign is a more specific form of the action defame)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for defame that I've seen before include "Run down" , "to pretetrate slander?" , "Injure the reputation of" , "Smear" , "Attack good reputation, speak ill of" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Mirror.
