Cursed, damned, or condemned to suffering; under a curse or spell of misfortune.
Past participle of 'bedamn,' functioning as an adjective to describe someone or something cursed or damned thoroughly.
When something was 'bedamned,' it wasn't just cursed—it was thoroughly, completely cursed. The intensifying power of the 'be-' prefix made it sound more serious than just calling something cursed. You'd find this in religious texts or dramatic literature describing truly wretched situations.
