Crossword Genius

Reprimand from Oscar Peterson (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpet

'reprimand' is the definition.
(carpet can informally mean to reprimand or rebuke)

'from oscar peterson' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'CARPET' can be found hidden inside 'oscar peterson'.

(Other definitions for carpet that I've seen before include "Woven fabric for the floor" , "lecture?" , "Reprimand severely" , "Large rug" , "Pet car on the floor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
