诉
sù
to complain
to sue; to tell
speech (讠) + reprimand (斥) = to complain, sue, or tell
斥 carries the sense of reprimanding or pushing away — combined with the speech radical, the character evokes forceful, directed words: a complaint, an accusation, or a formal telling. The mouth is open, and the tone is urgent.
