Origin:
The word "objurgation" originated in the Latin language, where it was used to describe the act of reproaching or rebuking someone. The term is derived from the Latin verb objurgare, which means "to scold, to chide, or to reprimand." This verb is composed of the prefix ob-, meaning "against," and the verb urguere, meaning "to press" or "to push." Thus, the word "objurgation" literally means "to press against" or "to attack verbally."
The word "objurgation" was first used in English in the early Middle Ages, around the 12th century. It was initially used in a religious context, to describe the stern rebukes that were given to sinners by priests and other religious leaders. Over time, the use of the word expanded to include any type of harsh or angry criticism. Today, the word "objurgation" is often used to describe the criticism that is given by people in positions of authority, such as parents, teachers, and bosses.
