Castigate, admonish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuke

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'castigate' is the first definition.
(I know that castigate is a more specific form of rebuke)

'admonish' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for rebuke that I've seen before include "Sharply reprimand" , "Reprimand, admonish" , "Remonstration" , "Sharply criticize" , "Express sharp disapproval" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
