长释义
Coming to English through Old French from the Latin admonere, "to advise, remind," admonish is always used with an eye on improving someone’s behavior. The exact meaning of this formal verb varies in intensity depending generally on who is being corrected. If a child or subordinate is being admonished, it means "scold" or "rebuke" whereas if someone admonishes a person with equal standing, warn or advise are closer synonyms.
从拉丁语 admonere 通过古法语进入英语,“建议,提醒”,admonish 总是着眼于改善某人的行为。这个正式动词的确切含义在强度上有所不同,通常取决于被纠正的对象。如果警告孩子或下属,则表示“责骂”或“斥责”,而如果有人警告具有同等地位的人,警告或建议是更接近的同义词。

词源
admonish (v.)mid-14c., amonesten "remind, urge, exhort, warn, give warning," from Old French amonester "urge, encourage, warn" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin admonestare, from Latin admonere "bring to mind, remind (of a debt);" also "warn, advise, urge," from ad "to," here probably with frequentative force (see ad-) + monere "to admonish, warn, advise," from PIE moneie- "to make think of, remind," suffixed (causative) form of root men- (1) "to think."The -d- was restored, on the Latin model, in English as in French (Modern French admonester). The ending was influenced by words in -ish (such as astonish, abolish). Related: Admonished; admonishing. Latin also had commonere "to remind," promonere "to warn openly," submonere "to advise privately" (source of summon).Related entries & more
