'mortification' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for chagrin that I've seen before include "Emotion" , "Arching with annoyed disappointment" , "Feeling of annoyance and disappointment" , "Feeling of annoyance and embarrassment" , "Humiliation, mortification" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
