Strong's Lexicon oneidizó: To reproach, revile, insult, or upbraid. Original Word: ὀνειδίζω Word Origin: From the Greek word ὄνειδος (oneidos), meaning "reproach" or "disgrace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of reproach is חֶרְפָּה (cherpah), Strong's Hebrew 2781, which also denotes disgrace or scorn. Usage: The verb "oneidizó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reproaching or insulting someone. It often carries the connotation of casting blame or shame upon another, typically in a public or humiliating manner. This term is used to depict both verbal attacks and the broader sense of scorn or contempt directed at an individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. To reproach someone was to challenge their honor and social standing. In Jewish culture, reproach was similarly significant, often associated with moral or religious failure. The use of "oneidizó" in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, highlighting the social and spiritual dimensions of reproach.

Wuest) – properly, to disgrace (insult), reproach; mock (curse); insult, cast blame (create shame) – viewing someone (something) as culpably guilty and therefore deserving punishment.
