stain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bad mark' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for stain that I've seen before include "Discolouration" , "Blotch on satin" , "Taint" , "Blemish; colour (wood)" , "Black mark for saint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
