Crossword Genius

Type of punishment for NCO (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corporal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'type of punishment' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

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

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for corporal that I've seen before include "material" , "Like old-fashioned punishment" , "Of the body, or army NCO" , "Bodily" , "Of the body, like NCO" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
