Condescend (5)

I think it could be either:

deign

stoop

'condescend' is the definition.
(I know that condescend can be written as stoop)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stoop that I've seen before include "Bow or bend" , "Lower one's standards" , "Deign" , "Bent posture" , "Bend the body forwards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Guardian, the Penny Press, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the Irish Times (Simplex), the Evening Standard and The Independent.
