I believe the answer is:

'shows contempt for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for scorns that I've seen before include "Has or shows contempt for" , "Holds in contempt" , "Looks down on" , "Rejects with contempt" , "Disdains and spurns" .)
