Explanation
“Discipline” means several related ideas about training, rules, order, and self-control. As a noun, it can mean training to follow rules, or behaviour that shows you obey rules. It can also mean punishment given when someone breaks rules, or the skill of controlling yourself (self-discipline). As a verb, to discipline means to train, correct, or teach someone to behave well or follow rules. For example, a teacher disciplines students when they are loud. Or you discipline yourself by practising a skill regularly.
