Scorn; belittlement (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disparagement

This clue is a double definition.

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

'belittlement' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for disparagement that I've seen before include "Slight to reputation - garden pastime (anag)" , "Scornful criticism" , "Slight - dig at spearmen (anag)" , "Condemnation, scorn" , "Aspersion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
