Proud and contemptuous (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrogant

'proud and contemptuous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for arrogant that I've seen before include "Proud and overbearing, feeling superior" , "Self-important and overbearing" , "Having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance" , "Overbearingly proud" , "Overweening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
