Scolding for getting the rope all tangled up (7)
I believe the answer is:
reproof
'scolding' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the rope all tangled up' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'rope' is 'epro' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reproof that I've seen before include "blame" , "Scolding" , "Censure" , "Once more get water-resistant" , "Dressing down" .)
