Berates (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scolds

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">berates</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('scold' can be a synonym of 'berate')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scolds that I've seen before include "Tells off, rebukes" , "Censures, berates" , "Nags - naggers" , "Reprimands, tells off harshly" , "Chides, reprimands" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
