'shame' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a girl who foolishly gets up trees' is the wordplay.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disrepute that I've seen before include "Ignominy" , "Ill fame" , "State of being held in low public esteem" , "get a bad name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
