- 1告誡；勸誡；訓勉
An admonition is a warning, or a serious remark that shows you do not like someone’s behaviour. It can be a short ‘don’t do that,’ or a longer, careful piece of advice that still carries blame. Courts, schools, churches, and newspapers like this word. It feels formal. A doctor might give an admonition about smoking; a judge might give an admonition instead of a harder punishment. Though actually, in daily speech most people just say warning, telling-off, or lecture. It is not always loud or angry: a calm sentence can still be an admonition if the meaning is ‘I , and you should stop.’
組成From Middle English amonicioun, from Old French amonicion, from Latin admonitio, from admonere (ad- ‘to’ + monere ‘to warn’). English put the -d- back in the 17th century to look more like the Latin.
