One way to picture it: turning to someone and letting them see you are hurt or let down by what they did — blame carried in sadness rather than in shouting.
From the word’s history
From Old French reprochier, traced to a Vulgar Latin form built on prope "near" — the idea of bringing a fault back near to someone, holding it up close to their face.
來自古法文 reprochier，一般追到通俗拉丁文以 prope（靠近）為底的形式：把某人的過錯「拿回來、湊到他面前」。這個「把錯攤到你眼前」的動作，正是今天 reproach 那種當面、近距離、讓你不得不看的責備感。
