Pushing or forcing something with great force, often repeatedly or violently, especially into a space.
From Old English 'ramm,' a male sheep. Rams were known for their aggressive head-butting, so the word came to mean striking forcefully. The -ing form shows present tense or gerund.
Medieval navies used ramming as a serious weapon—warships with reinforced prows called 'rams' would smash into enemy ships to sink them. It was naval warfare before cannons!
