助记提示

1. 记忆法一：斥责 => 拼音：chize => chise (音变：z -> s) => chide (音变：s -> d)。
2. 记忆法二：kid "孩子，小孩" => chid (chide的过去式及过去分词, k -> ch) => chide (还原)。
3. 孩子不听话、很调皮、很淘气，所以要斥责他。

【记法】分解为：c（错）＋hide（藏）

英文词源

chide (v.)
late 12c., "scold, nag, rail," originally intransitive, from Old English cidan "to contend, quarrel, complain." Not found outside Old English (though Liberman says it is "probably related to OHG *kîdal 'wedge,'" with a sense evolution from "brandishing sticks" to "scold, reprove"). Past tense, past participle can be chided or chid or even (past participle) chidden (Shakespeare used it); present participle is chiding.
