Definition
An archaic word meaning to bruise severely or to injure completely through crushing.
Etymology
From Old English 'for-' (completely, severely) + 'bruise' (to crush/bruise). The prefix transforms the simple action of bruising into severe, comprehensive injury or damage.
Kelly Says
Medieval writers used 'forbruise' to describe battle wounds and physical trauma—it's the kind of specific violence vocabulary that shows how Old English had many shades of 'to hurt' depending on severity and method.
