Dislike test said to be fixed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distaste

'dislike' is the definition.
(I know that distaste is a type of dislike)

'test said to be fixed' is the wordplay.
'to be fixed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'test'+'said'='testsaid'
'testsaid' anagrammed gives 'DISTASTE'.

(Other definitions for distaste that I've seen before include "Abhorrence" , "Feeling of dislike or aversion" , "Antipathy, aversion" , "Repugnance" , "Loathing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
