Excessively instructive (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

didactic

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for didactic that I've seen before include "Instructive, perhaps overly so" , "like a school-teacher?" , "In the manner of a (domineering) teacher" , "Having the manner of one instructing pupils" , "(Patronisingly) educational" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Irish Times.
