Drubbing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rout

'drubbing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rout that I've seen before include "Act like a pig" , "Total defeat in battle" , "Put to flight in disarray" , "Completely defeat" , "clobber" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday and the Universal.
