Let’s find the answers to Severe scolding, and what the answers to the starred clues literally have? LA Times for the December 11, 2024 edition of LA Times crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 12 letters. Start with D and end with N, and the possible solutions are DEASPIRATION, DEACTIVATION, DRESSINGDOWN.
The answer is DRESSINGDOWN.
The answer "DRESSINGDOWN" refers to the phrase "severe scolding," as "dressing down" is a common expression meaning to reprimand or scold someone harshly. The "starred clues" part of the puzzle likely points to the way the answer can be interpreted literally.
In this case, "dressing down" can also be broken into two parts: "dressing," which refers to putting on clothes, and "down," which can suggest a reduction or bringing something lower. Thus, the clues literally describe both the action of reprimanding someone (dressing them down) and a literal interpretation of the words "dressing" and "down."
