Hit, damaged, or affected at the edge or margin; struck along the boundary rather than at the center.
From Old English 'ecg' (edge) + 'shot' (hit or struck). This compound word combines 'edge' with the past participle 'shot' to describe location and impact.
In physics and engineering, 'edgeshot' impacts behave completely differently from head-on collisions—a crucial insight that engineers use to design safer cars and structures.
