SCOLD

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 407 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCOLD , one who scolds, i.e. chides, finds fault with or rebukes with violence or persistence or vituperation. It is usually a
term
  applied to
women
 , and a " common scold " (in Low Lat. communis rixatrix) was indictable in England at common law as a public
nuisance
 ,
special
 
instruments
  of
punishment
  being devised in the "
branks
  " or " scold's bridle," and the " cucking
stool
 ." Thp word is apparently an adaptation of the Norse skald, skald or scald, a poet, and according to the New
English
  Dictionary the intermediate meaning through which the sense develops is " libeller " or " lampooner."
Skeat
  derives from Du. schold, schellen, and takes the word as originally meaning a loud talker, cf. Icel. skjalla, to clash, Ger. schallen. The Norse word is also to be connected in this case, the " skald
being one who talks loudly.
