Ross

I believe the answer is:

hauteur

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

'pride' is the definition.
(hauteur can mean a superior or arrogant attitude)

'person who detests being given uniform on two occasions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'uniform' could be 'u' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'u' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found within the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hauteur that I've seen before include "Nose-in-the-air pride" , "Disdainful pride or snobbery" , "High-handedness" , "Overbearing arrogance" , "Lofty pride, looking down on others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
