Showed contempt (7)

I believe the answer is:

sneered

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sneered that I've seen before include "Ridiculed" , "Smiled contemptuously" , "Showed contempt" , "Derided" , "Mocked contemptuously" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Sunday, the New York Times, the Newsday.com, The Telegraph, the Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press and the L.A. Times Daily.
