Mark ruined satin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stain

'mark' is the definition.
('stain' can be a synonym of 'mark')

'ruined satin' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'satin' is an anagram of 'STAIN'.

(Other definitions for stain that I've seen before include "Blemish; colour (wood)" , "Discolouration" , "Discoloured mark" , "Mark with colour, dirt" , "Unsightly mark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
