Slight but not trivial offence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

affront

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'slight' is the first definition.
(both can mean to offend)

'not trivial offence' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for affront that I've seen before include "Insult openly" , "Snub" , "Open insult" , "provocation" , "Indignity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
