Scolds harshly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berates

'scolds harshly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for berates that I've seen before include "Upbraids" , "is a scold" , "Scolds" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times, The Washington Post Sunday, The Mirror and The Washington Post.
