Pupil ignoring current punishment (8)
I believe the answer is:
disciple
'pupil' is the definition.
(I know that disciple is a type of pupil)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disciple that I've seen before include "one believes" , "Follower of a religious leader" , "Pupil - follower" , "Adherent who helps to spread the doctrine" , "Mark, for example" .)
