Answer : CHASTISES
to discipline by punishment
Examples:
You should never chastise someone for failing if they were giving it their all.
How could you be chastised over something so petty?
“to inflict pain upon to punish and recall to duty, to punish for the purpose of correcting or reclaiming,” c. 1300, chastisen, from Old French chastiier “to warn, advise, instruct; chastise, admonish; punish; dominate, tame” (12c., Modern French châtier), from Latin castigare “to set or keep right, to reprove, chasten, to punish,” literally “to make pure”. Or perhaps from Middle English chastien + -ise, though this would be early for such a native formation.
