Scoffed at Judge? One gets sack (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jibed

'scoffed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'judge? one gets sack' is the wordplay.
'judge?' becomes 'j'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'sack' becomes 'bed' ('in the sack' means 'in bed').
'j'+'i'+'bed'='JIBED'

'at' is the link.

(Another definition for jibed that I've seen is " Scoffed".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
