Dressing-down (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

earful

rebuke

'dressing-down' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rebuke that I've seen before include "Censure" , "Sharp criticism" , "Reprimand, admonish" , "Remonstration" , "Sharply criticise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sunday Times.
