I stare, disconcerted, at such ridicule (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satire

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

'such ridicule' is the definition.
'satire' can be an answer for 'ridicule' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'such' bit.

'i stare disconcerted' is the wordplay.
'disconcerted' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'stare'='istare'
'istare' with letters rearranged gives 'SATIRE'.

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satire that I've seen before include "text of Juvenal" , "Humouous piece which ricicules" , "Humerous literary ridicule" , "Lampoon" , "Humorous criticism of folly or vice" .)
