Meaning

Primary

To Learn By Experience

Word Type

intransitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

The kanji means chastise but the verb vocab version is to learn by experience. I guess these are kind of similar. When you make a mistake, someone will chastise you, and then you will learn by experience (either via the experience or via the chastising).
