Root Explanation

The word 'clubbed' originates from 'club' (from Old Norse 'klubba', meaning a heavy stick or cudgel) and the suffix '-ed' (indicating a past action or state). The term 'clubbed' refers to something that has been struck or beaten with a club or has a shape resembling a club.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'club' as a heavy stick used to hit something, and when something is 'clubbed', it means it has been struck with that heavy object.
