The word appears in Angus's line in V, 6, "Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach;" To upbraid is to chastise, admonish or scold. That's the easy word. "Faith-breach" is a word Shakespeare made up, but we can guess that it means his breach of faith in murdering Duncan. "Revolts" are challenges to his authority. "Minutely" generally means in small details. So we get "Now in small details challenges to his authority scold him for his breach of faith." as the meaning of the line.
