Pompously instructive (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

didactic

(Other definitions for didactic that I've seen before include "Edifying" , "Teaching morally" , "'Instructive, perhaps excessively so (8)'" , "Instructive, perhaps patronisingly" , "In the manner of a (domineering) teacher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
