Scottish dialect past participle meaning thoroughly worn out or exhausted from fighting or struggling.
Scots 'for-' (prefix meaning excessively) combined with 'foughten' (past participle of fight), creating an intensified form with dialectal Scottish development.
Scottish English preserved many old Germanic verb forms like 'foughten' that modern English lost, and the 'for-' prefix intensifier shows how regional dialects innovate differently!
