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 Penny Press, the New York Times, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, the L.A. Times Sunday, The Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal.
