Speak derisively (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoff

'speak derisively' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scoff that I've seen before include "Speak derisively" , "Quickly swallow" , "Jeer - eat quickly" , "Deride - guzzle" , "Devour (informal)" .)

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