One opposed gets to induce scorn (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contempt

'scorn' is the definition.
('contempt' can be a synonym of 'scorn')

'one opposed gets to induce' is the wordplay.
'one opposed' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to induce' becomes 'tempt'.
'con'+'tempt'='CONTEMPT'

(Other definitions for contempt that I've seen before include "Feeling of despising something - perhaps court?" , "The feeling of despising a person" , "Feeling of dislike for, perhaps of court?" , "Undisguised disrespect" , "Feeling of disdain, perhaps of court" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
