Dressing-down (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

earful

rebuke

'dressing-down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earful that I've seen before include "Load of abuse (received)" , "Informally, a lot of talk, maybe a reprimand" , "Loud blast - angry reprimand" , "Ticking-off" , "Get this and you listen to a lot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Independent.
