Supercilious (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

aloof

snide

'supercilious' is the definition.
(I know that supercilious can be written as snide)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for snide that I've seen before include "Maliciously derogatory" , "Delivering cuts" , "Unpleasantly mocking" , "Supercilious, malicious" , "Maliciously mocking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Mirror.
