LAPIDATE Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "lapidate" is primarily a verb, derived from the Latin word "lapidare," which literally means "to stone." It refers to the act of pelting or stoning an individual or an animal as a form of punishment or execution. Lapidation typically involves a group of people throwing stones at the condemned, aiming to inflict severe injury or death. This form of punishment has been historically practiced in various cultures throughout the world.

    In a broader sense, "lapidate" can also be used metaphorically, referring to the act of harshly criticizing or condemning someone. In this context, it implies attacking someone verbally or socially, often with the intent to discredit or humiliate them. This usage highlights the idea of causing harm or damage through relentless negative criticism.

    The concept of lapidation is deeply rooted in ancient practices and is often associated with capital punishment for perceived crimes. It can be traced back to ancient times, with examples found in biblical texts, historical records, and folklore from various civilizations. Today, lapidation is widely condemned as a brutal and inhumane form of punishment, and its practice has been largely abolished or restricted in modern legal systems. However, the term "lapidate" continues to be used to describe both the act of stoning as a method of execution and the act of publicly attacking and vilifying someone.
