Definition
Beaten repeatedly with a heavy object or overwhelmed with excessive force or pressure.
Etymology
From bludgeon, a word of uncertain origin, possibly from French boujon meaning 'a short thick stick.' First appeared in English in the 18th century as a noun referring to a heavy club, then became a verb.
Kelly Says
While we often think of bludgeoning as purely physical violence, the word has evolved to describe any overwhelming assault, including being 'bludgeoned with information' or 'bludgeoned by criticism.' This metaphorical use captures the same sense of relentless, heavy-handed treatment.
