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

'criticise' is the definition.
(scolding is a kind of criticizing)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for scold that I've seen before include "Chide or reprimand" , "Upbraid" , "Chide, rebuke" , "Chide - fishwife" , "quarrelsome woman of old?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
