Word origin
The word 'pummeled' originates from the verb 'pummel,' which dates back to the late 15th century. It is derived from Middle English 'pomel,' referring to a small, rounded object or hammer. The evolution of the word is indicative of its connection to striking or hitting actions, paralleling its use in physical confrontations. Initially, it articulated a more general meaning of hitting something repeatedly. Over time, its use became more specialized in contexts that denote vigorous action, especially in sports or fights. The etymology of 'pummel' reflects a combination of physical exertion and a deliberate intent to cause impact, making it a term commonly associated with boxing and combat sports today.
