Show contempt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sneer

'show contempt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sneer that I've seen before include "Smile contemptuously" , "Curl one's lip" , "Contemptuous or mocking smile" , "Contemptuous expression" , "Speak contemptuously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Penny Press and the Universal.
