admonishment

/ædˈmɑnɪʃmɛnt/ noun

The act of admonishing.

Word Origin From Latin monere 'to warn' with ad- 'to' — literally 'to warn toward' someone. The root mon- is the same as in monitor (one who warns), monument (something that reminds), and premonition (a warning beforehand). The -ish suffix came through French, giving us admonish, and then -ment makes it a noun. The PIE root *men- 'to think' connects to mind and mental — warning is about making someone think.
