Simpleton, disparagingly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cretin

'simpleton disparagingly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cretin that I've seen before include "Idiot!" , "Charlie" , "fool" , "Halfwit" , "soft" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
