Mark of shame (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stigma

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stigma that I've seen before include "Disgraceful sign" , "Blot" , "part of plant" , "evidence of nastiness?" , "Symbol of disgrace or infamy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Sun, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
