Fellow recorded as punished (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flogged

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

'punished' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'fellow recorded' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'recorded' becomes 'logged' (logging is a kind of recording).
'f'+'logged'='FLOGGED'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flogged that I've seen before include "Lashed -- sold" , "Beat severely or sold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
