Physical beating (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hiding

'physical beating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hiding that I've seen before include "Beating - state of concealment" , "Chastisement - concealment!" , "Hushing up" , "Not exposing" , "Not publicising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
