Show contempt for horrible spiders etc. (10)

I believe the answer is:

disrespect

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

'show contempt' is the definition.
'disrespect' can be an answer for 'contempt' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'show' bit.

'horrible spiders etc' is the wordplay.
'horrible' is an anagram indicator.
'spiders'+'etc'='spidersetc'
'spidersetc' anagrammed gives 'DISRESPECT'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disrespect that I've seen before include "Contempt" , "Discourtesy" , "Lack of courtesy" , "Lack of reverence" , "Rudeness" .)
