Judged and severely rebuked (5)
I believe the answer is:
rated
'judged' is the definition.
(rating is a kind of judging)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Reckoned" , "Scolded, estimated" , "Assessed in trade" , "Tread (anag.)" , "Estimated, set at" .)
