Understanding Castigating: Definition, Examples, and Effects

Castigating means criticizing or punishing someone severely, often in a public manner. It can also refer to the act of scolding or reprimanding someone for their actions or behavior.

For example, "The teacher castigated the student for not completing their homework" or "The boss castigated the employee for being late to work."

In both cases, the person being castigated is being criticized and punished for their actions, and it is often done in a public manner to serve as an example to others.
