Of, relating to, or serving as punishment or severe criticism.
From Latin castigatorius, combining castigare (to punish) with the adjectival suffix -torius (serving to, relating to).
The suffix -torius in Latin gave English words like 'amatory' and 'predatory'—it's a classy way of saying 'relating to' that sounds more formal and slightly archaic to modern ears.
