Formal rebuke (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprimand

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reprimand that I've seen before include "Tick off - carpet" , "telling off" , "Admonish" , "Formal rebuke" , "Severe telling-off" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Sun.
