Disciplinarian (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

martinet

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">disciplinarian</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for martinet that I've seen before include "Person who demands strict obedience" , "Tyrant, one who demands strict obedience" , "Gradgrind was one" , "Strict disciplinarian - met train (anag)" , "Disciplined type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
