Simper (5)

I believe the answer is:

smirk

'simper' is the definition.
(I know that simper can be written as smirk)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smirk that I've seen before include "Leer" , "Complacent smile" , "Show self-complacent satisfaction" , "Smug look" , "Smile scornfully" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
