Notes
Domestic and affectionate, and understood as care rather than criticism. Said to scholars, apprentices, clerks and children who have been at something too long; physicians recommend it in those words. The commonest way to say it is simply the bare imperative. Whatever the word originally reproached is not recorded and would not now be recognized.
