Tells off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scolds

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tells off</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scolds that I've seen before include "Berates, reproves" , "Nags - naggers" , "Censures, berates" , "Reprimands, tells off harshly" , "Dresses down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
