Mock, sneer at (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deride

This clue is a double definition.

'mock' is the first definition.
(deriding is a kind of mocking)

'sneer at' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for deride that I've seen before include "Mock, scorn" , "Jeer, belittle" , "Express contempt for" , "Disparage" , "Mock and jeer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
