Deathblows

/ˈdeθbloʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of deathblow; multiple fatal or decisive blows; a series of destructive events.

Etymology

Plural form of deathblow, formed by adding -s. Same etymology as deathblow (death + blow).

Kelly Says

When something suffers 'multiple deathblows,' it's already dead—using the plural is actually a bit redundant and dramatic, which makes it perfect for describing something that's thoroughly destroyed.
