Censure indicates rule etc. has been broken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lecture

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

'censure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rule etc has been broken' is the wordplay.
'rule etc' anagrams to 'LECTURE'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'indicates' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lecture that I've seen before include "Talk; reprimand" , "Academic discourse" , "Class at university" , "Discourse for students" , "Instructional talk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
