+ ==Forms==

+ '''obiūrgātiō''' ''f'' (genitive obiūrgātiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''objūrgātiō''.^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|obiūrgō|-tiō|t1=to reprove, rebuke]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline) [[m|la|obiūrgō]] is a compound of [[m|la|ob-]] and [[m|la|iūrgō|t=to quarrel]]; de Vaan thinks [[m|la|iūrgō]] and [[m|la|iūrgium]] are based on a noun meaning roughly "bringing the oath", made from [[m|la|iūs|t=law, oath]] and the root of [[m|la|agō|t=to drive]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Cicero uses it first,^(Köbler 2010) as in the ''Laelius'', where a rebuke should be free of insult.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is a reproof or rebuke.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cicero distinguishes it from admonition, which he calls a milder rebuke, and says that sometimes rebukes are necessary in which one must use a louder voice and harsher words;^(Lewis & Short 1879) he also pairs it with ''castīgātiō''.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Festus, in Paulus' epitome, separates it from ''monitiō'': the rebuke comes after a shameful act, the warning before it.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Quintilian uses it of self-reproach, and Seneca opposes rebukes to praise.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Stelten gives "blaming, reproving, rebuke" for Church Latin.^(Stelten 1995) The English [[m|en|objurgation]] appears about 1500.^(Etymonline)
