From the Old English, ' cidan ' (to verbally fight, quarrel, contend, oppose), chide also has strong influences of the word ride/rode, which befits its meaning, as when you chide someone, you are pursuing them verbally over something they have done (or failed to do) which upsets you. Mrs Cooper has chided Ava more than once for not being good and doing her chores.
