chastisement

Etymology

Old French chastiement, from the verb chastier, from Latin castīgō

noun

1. The act of chastising; rebuke; punishment.
   All this he called “doing his duty by their parents;” and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that “he would remember it and thank him for it the longest day he had to live.” 1820, Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
   It seems to me that as he does not respond to this extremely conciliatory treatment it may be well to try whether a change of treatment might not produce a more satisfactory result. If praise and courtesy only result in narrow, bitter partisanship, perhaps a little well-merited chastisement may procure some geniality. 24 December 1929, Winston Churchill, Hansard
