Castigation
If your coach yells at your team for sloppy play, his post-game speech might be called a castigation. A castigation is a harsh verbal reprimand.
No one likes to be on the receiving end of a castigation. The word comes from the Latin castigus which means "to make pure." Try to remember during a castigation that the castigator is, in their own misguided way, trying to make you a better person. But that may be hard to think of when someone is bawling you out.
Synonyms
1. discipline penalty
