Task master ran disciplined section (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

errand

'task' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'master ran disciplined section' is the wordplay.
'section' indicates a hidden word.
'ERRAND' is hidden in the letters of 'master ran disciplined'.

(Other definitions for errand that I've seen before include "Task, message" , "run one" , "Chore" , "Short journey on behalf of another" , "Commission, task" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
