sermonizing
This term carries a strong negative connotation, implying that the speaker is being preachy, condescending, or self-righteous. While a sermon in a religious context is a formal act of worship, sermonizing describes an unwelcome imposition of moral judgment on others in a secular or interpersonal setting.
As a noun, the word functions as a gerund describing the habit or act of moralizing. It is treated as an uncountable noun, referring to the general behavior rather than individual instances of lecturing.
Meanings
To deliver a long, tedious, or moralizing lecture to someone, often in a way that is perceived as condescending or overly critical.
To speak in a moralizing or preachy manner, often regardless of whether the audience desires the advice.
The act or habit of delivering sermons or giving moralistic lectures.
