Minor dispute (11)

I believe the answer is:

contretemps

(Other definitions for contretemps that I've seen before include "Minor disagreement" , "Inopportune happening" , "Prescott men (anag) - awkward moment" , "Unexpected mishap" , "Unexpected embarrassment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
