Reprimand (4,3)

Ross

'reprimand' is the definition.
(I know that tell off is a more specific form of reprimand)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tell off that I've seen before include "Reprimand (someone)" , "Reprimand (informal)" , "Reprimand allocate new duties" , "Carpet" , "Earmark for duty; reprimand" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, The Times, The Mirror and The Daily Mail.
