Today’s “Word of the Day” is chastisement and it is a noun meaning “an expression of criticism; castigation, rebuke, reprimand, admonishment, reproachment, reproof, condemnation; correction, discipline, punishment”.
Example Sentence: The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to a flurry of diplomatic activity in New Delhi: some visitors came to test the waters, some to discuss life beyond Ukraine, some to seek solidarity, and some others to issue veiled warnings. New Delhi has been forthcoming and patient. What, however, hasn’t gone down very well in India is the public chastisement of its Russia policy i.e., the decision to continue its trade with Russia and unwillingness to condemn Russian aggression.
