Put up with corporal punishment (5)

I believe the answer is:

stick

I believe this is a double definition.

'put up with' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'corporal punishment' is the second definition.
(corporal punishment administered with a stick )

(Other definitions for stick that I've seen before include "Flak - cling" , "Rod" , "Endure" , "Staff - criticism" , "Adhere; baton" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
