Twit bungled pub heist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upbraid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'twit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bungled pub heist' is the wordplay.
'bungled' is an anagram indicator.
'heist' becomes 'raid' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pub' with letters rearranged gives 'upb'.
'upb'+'raid'='UPBRAID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for upbraid that I've seen before include "Dress down" , "Angrily reproach" , "Beam used for detection of aircraft" , "Reproach sternly about arid pub" , "Rebuke, scold severely" .)
