Whip for inflicting punishment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scourge

(Other definitions for scourge that I've seen before include "torment" , "Harass" , "Person/thing causing great suffering; whip" , "One causing great suffering; whip" , "One providing lashings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
