Rebukes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scolds

'rebukes' is the definition.
('scold' can be a synonym of 'rebuke')

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Times.
