Prolonged reprimand (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earful

'prolonged reprimand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for earful that I've seen before include "load of wax, possibly" , "Ale fur (anag.)" , "Get this and you listen to a lot" , "A telling-off" , "Severe reprimand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail and The Times.
