Speak badly of (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traduce

'speak badly of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for traduce that I've seen before include "Speak ill of" , "Defame, slander" , "Malign -- rude act (anag)" , "'Malign, badmouth (7)'" , "Misrepresent in unfavourable way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Independent, the Universal and the USA Today.
