Definition
Past tense of foist; successfully tricked someone into accepting something unwanted.
Etymology
Regular past tense formation of 'foist' using the '-ed' suffix, maintaining the deceptive meaning from the Dutch root.
Kelly Says
When something has been 'foisted upon' someone, there's a sense of victimization and cleverness combined—the person didn't just receive it, they were manipulated into taking it.
