Objurgate comes from Latin objurgat- ‘chided, rebuked’, from the verb objurgare, based on jurgium ‘strife’. 

The verb "objurgate" was first used in English in the early 1600s, with the earliest evidence from 1616 in the writing of John Bullokar, physician and lexicographer, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
