Impose a penalty (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

punish

'impose a penalty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for punish that I've seen before include "Castigate" , "Inflict a penalty upon" , "Impose penalty for crime or misbehaviour" , "Possibly fine" , "Fine perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
