==Origin==
[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English], from Anglo-French rebucher, rebouker to blunt, check, reprimand
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_century 14th Century]
==Definitions==
*1a : to [[criticize]] sharply : reprimand
:b : to serve as a rebuke to
2: to turn back or keep down : check
==Description==
In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_law English law] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_law canon law] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_England Church of England], a '''rebuke''' is a [[censure]] on a member of the clergy. It is the least severe censure available against clergy of the Church of England, less severe than a monition. A rebuke can be given in person by a bishop or by an [[ecclesiastical]] [[court]].
==Example==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates Socrates] drew to himself many of the brightest and most prominent people in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Athens Athens], securing their fascinated [[attention]] and their [[passionate]] [[friendship]] and [[support]]. His effectiveness as a [[philosopher]], and the Socratic '[[legend]]' itself, depended as much on the strength and interest of his [[personality]] as on the [[power]] of his [[mind]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato Plato]'s and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophon Xenophon]'s portraits of Socrates as a [[person]] differ significantly, however. Plato's Socrates is aloof and often speaks [[ironically]], although also with unusual and deeply held [[moral]] convictions; [[paradox]]ically, the depth and [[clarity]] of his [[convictions]], maintained alongside the firm disclaimer to know what was true, could seem all the stronger [[testimony]] to their [[truth]], and made them felt the more strongly as a '''rebuke''' to the [[superficiality]] of one's own way of living.
