?Which word?
Do not confuse chasten (to make somebody humble or wiser) and chastise (to criticize or punish somebody severely).
Chasten (किसी को विनम्र या समझदार बनाना) और chastise (किसी को कड़ी फटकार या सज़ा देना) में अंतर समझें।
§Grammar and usage
The t is silent, so it sounds like 'chay-sun'.
T silent होता है, इसलिए इसका उच्चारण 'चेसन' होता है।
