Mock, ridicule (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jeer

This clue is a double definition.

'mock' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ridicule' is the second definition.
(jeer is a kind of ridicule)

(Other definitions for jeer that I've seen before include "Gibe" , "Henry ---, Richard II's enemy, successor" , "Tease" , "Boo" , "Rude, mocking remark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
