Chide, reprimand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scold

This clue is a double definition.

'chide' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'reprimand' is the second definition.
(I know that reprimand can be written as scold)

(Other definitions for scold that I've seen before include "Censure, berate" , "Chide, rebuke" , "Castigate" , "quarrelsome woman of old?" , "Rate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
