"Thumped" originates from the Old English word "þumpian", which means "to strike heavily with something blunt or heavy". It is possibly derived from the Proto-Germanic word "þumpōną". Over time, "thump" came to refer to a heavy blow or hitting something with a dull sound.
"For" has its roots in Old English, coming from the Germanic language family. It is related to the Old Frisian word "for", the Old Saxon word "for", and the Dutch word "voor", all of which mean "for, in favor of".
When combined, "thumped for" generally means being hit or struck in favor of a cause, idea, or person.
