To reproach someone means to criticize or disapprove of that person's character or behavior. A reproach is the negative comment about the person.

  • The word "reproach" can also be translated as "accusation" or "shame" or "disgrace."
  • "To reproach" could also be translated as, "to rebuke" or "to accuse" or "to criticize," depending on the context.
