Rug; upbraid (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpet

This clue is a double definition.

'rug' is the first definition.
(I know that rug can be written as carpet)

'upbraid' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for carpet that I've seen before include "Floor cover" , "Tell off" , "On the ......- getting a ticking-off" , "Roll the red one out for VIP" , "Large rug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
