覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
admonishment は、まず動詞 admonish を知ると覚えやすい語です。advice のような軽い助言ではなく、warning や rebuke に近い「きつめの注意・叱責」。語尾 -ment は develop→development と同じで「行為・結果」を名詞化するので、admonish の中身がそのまま名詞になった形と見ればよいです。a stern admonishment, issue an admonishment などで出やすく、punishment のような実際の処罰ではなく、その一歩手前の厳しい戒めだと整理すると残ります。
Start with the verb `admonish`, then add `-ment`, the common noun ending seen in words like `development`. That helps you remember it as the act or result of admonishing. It sounds stronger than friendly advice, closer to a serious warning or rebuke. Think of collocations like `stern admonishment`.

admonishment の語源・成り立ち Etymology
admonishment は admonish + -ment。admonish はラテン語 admonere にさかのぼり、ad-「〜へ」+ monere「警告する」で、monitor や premonition と同根なので、「相手に警告を向けること」がそのまま戒めの意味になります。
Admonishment comes from admonish plus the noun ending -ment. Admonish goes back to Latin admonere, from ad- meaning "to" and monere meaning "warn" or "advise." The sense developed from directing a warning toward someone to the idea of a spoken or written rebuke; monitor and premonition are related words.
