To humiliate correctively will make Charlie speed up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chasten

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to humiliate correctively will' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'charlie speed up' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'C' (phonetic alphabet).
'speed up' becomes 'hasten' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'hasten'='CHASTEN'

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chasten that I've seen before include "Censure severely" , "Moderate" , "Humble" , "Suppress" , "Subdue, correct by punishing" .)
