Suffer corporal punishment? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stick
This clue is a double definition.
'suffer' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'corporal punishment?' is the second definition.
(corporal punishment administered with a stick )
(Other definitions for stick that I've seen before include "Tolerate" , "Baton; gum" , "Flak - cling" , "Glue; piece of wood" , "Gear lever; adhere" .)
