Objicere · Exprobrare

Objicere means to charge a person with something, from which he must vindicate himself as against an accusation; whereas exprobrare means to upbraid a person with something, which he must let remain as it is. The objiciens will call a person to account; the exprobrans only put him to the blush. (iv. 198.)
