Scold for arranging rebate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berate

'scold' is the definition.
(I know that scold can be written as berate)

'arranging rebate' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'rebate' with letters rearranged gives 'BERATE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for berate that I've seen before include "Reprimand" , "Have words with" , "slate" , "Scold, censure" , "Scold about rebate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
