Definition
Attacked heavily with bombs or artillery fire; or to overwhelm someone with a large amount of something like questions, information, or criticism.
Etymology
From Italian 'bombare' meaning to bomb, derived from 'bomba' (bomb), which may trace to Latin 'bombus' meaning a booming sound. The term entered military vocabulary in the 15th century and expanded metaphorically to mean overwhelming attack.
Kelly Says
The metaphorical use of 'bombarded' shows how we borrow language from warfare to describe emotional experiences—we say people are 'bombarded' with spam emails or questions, mapping the violent intensity of literal bombardment onto everyday information overload, revealing how overwhelming the modern world feels.
