Crossword Genius

Reads grid, wrongly showing neglect (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disregard

'neglect' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'reads grid wrongly' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reads'+'grid'='readsgrid'
'readsgrid' anagrammed gives 'DISREGARD'.

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for disregard that I've seen before include "Neglect, ignore" , "Push aside" , "Overlook - inattention" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
