Debruised

/dɪˈbruːzd/ adjective

Definition

Having been treated or healed so that bruises have been removed or resolved.

Etymology

Past participle of 'debruise'. A rare, archaic term from medical and herbal traditions.

Kelly Says

You'd be hard-pressed to find 'debruised' used in modern medicine, but the word captures an older understanding that healing was an active process of restoration, not just waiting for time to pass.
