Tell off, chide (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admonish

This clue is a double definition.

'tell off' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chide' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for admonish that I've seen before include "censure" , "Scold, wag the finger at" , "Reprove, warn" , "Gently reprove" , "Tell off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
