Reprimand firmly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admonish

'reprimand firmly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for admonish that I've seen before include "Forewarn" , "Chide, reprove" , "Warn sternly" , "criticise" , "Scold, wag the finger at" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Times.
