<syn>Syn. -- <er>Admonition</er>, <er>Reprehension</er>, <er>Reproof</er>.</syn> <usage> <i>Admonition</i> is prospective, and relates to moral delinquencies; its object is to prevent further transgression. <i>Reprehension</i> and <i>reproof</i> are retrospective, the former being milder than the latter. A person of any age or station may be liable to <i>reprehension</i> in case of wrong conduct; but <i>reproof</i> is the act of a superior. It is authoritative fault-finding or censure addressed to children or to inferiors.</usage>
