disciplined

/ˈdɪsɪplɪnd/verb

To train a person through teaching and repeated practice.

Example sentence

  • “The academy disciplined its recruits through months of daily drills.”

As an adjective it praises self-control: a disciplined athlete, a disciplined approach. That use far outnumbers the verb.
