Scold, rebuke (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chide

This clue is a double definition.

'scold' is the first definition.
(I know that scold can be written as chide)

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

(Other definitions for chide that I've seen before include "Santa's laugh" , "Tear off strip" , "Admonish" , "Reprove" , "Tell off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
