Chide, reprimand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scold

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">chide</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">reprimand</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that reprimand can be written as scold)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scold that I've seen before include "Censure, berate" , "Chide, rebuke" , "Castigate" , "quarrelsome woman of old?" , "Rate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
