Mocking — scornful (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sardonic

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'scornful' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sardonic that I've seen before include "Heartless and bitter" , "Dry, cynically mocking" , "Scornfully derisive" , "Humorous in grim way - seems so rancid" , "Cynical -- so rancid (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
