Spitefully disparaging (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snide

(Other definitions for snide that I've seen before include "Slyly derogatory" , "Sneering in a sly way - dines out on it" , "Maliciously mocking" , "Derogatory in an insinuating way" , "Dines (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
