FLOGGED Meaning and Definition

1. Flogged is a verb that refers to the act of severely beating or whipping someone, typically as a form of punishment. This term is usually associated with the use of a whip or similar instrument to strike the person repeatedly, causing them pain and sometimes physical injury. Flogging has been historically used as a means of discipline, retribution, or torture in various societies and cultures.

   When a person is flogged, they are subjected to lashings or blows inflicted upon their body, typically on their back or other exposed areas. The severity of flogging can vary, ranging from mild to extremely cruel, depending on the intention and context of the punishment. The pain caused by flogging is often intense, and the repeated strikes can result in lacerations, bruising, or even long-lasting scars.

   In some legal systems, flogging has been a prescribed punishment for certain offenses or crimes. However, in many modern societies, flogging is now considered a violation of human rights and prohibited as a cruel and inhumane treatment. It is often seen as a breach of personal dignity and integrity.

   The term "flogged" can also be used metaphorically to describe criticising or reprimanding someone severely or intensely, as if verbally striking them with forceful language. In this sense, it signifies a harsh and forceful scolding or condemnation.

Etymology of FLOGGED

The word "flogged" originates from the Middle English term "floggen", which itself derived from the Old English word "flogian". Both "floggen" and "flogian" mean "to beat or whip". These Old English words are thought to have developed from the Proto-Germanic term "flagōną", which carries the same sense of "to whip or beat". The exact origin of "flagōną" is uncertain, but it is believed to be connected to the Proto-Indo-European root "*bhlag-" meaning "to strike". Ultimately, the etymology of "flogged" traces back to this ancient linguistic root.
