Noisome and discordant duo is holding no score (6)

I believe the answer is:

odious

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'noisome' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'duo is holding no score' is the wordplay.
'holding' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'no' becomes 'O' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero').
'score' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'scored' mean this).
'duo'+'is'+'o'='duoiso'
'duoiso' is an anagram of 'ODIOUS'.

'and discordant' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
