Mark against (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demerit

'mark against' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for demerit that I've seen before include "Fact deserving censure" , "Feature deserving censure" , "Something deserving censure" , "Fault, defect" , "Black mark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
