Censure about mathematical demonstration (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reproof

'censure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about mathematical demonstration' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'mathematical demonstration' becomes 'proof' (proving something mathematically).
're'+'proof'='REPROOF'

(Other definitions for reproof that I've seen before include "Castigation" , "Once more get water-resistant" , "blame" , "Blaming" , "Reprimand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
