Admonish or rebuke (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprimand

I believe this is a double definition.

'admonish' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rebuke' is the second definition.
(I know that rebuke can be written as reprimand)

(Other definitions for reprimand that I've seen before include "Severe reproof" , "Admonish" , "Official scolding" , "Expression of disapproval" , "Tick off - carpet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
