Shame miserable clothing is being worn by husband (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dishonour

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

'shame' is the definition.
(I know that shame can be written as dishonour)

'miserable clothing is being worn by husband' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is found in the answer.
'worn' could be 'on' (as in clothes having clothes on) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' (abbreviation) and 'h' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dour' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dishonour that I've seen before include "disgrace" , "scandal" , "Slight" , "Shame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
