scourging

/ˈskɝdʒɪŋ/ noun

A beating with a scourge; a flogging.

Word Origin From Vulgar Latin 'excorrigia' meaning 'whip, lash' — literally 'out of a thong' (ex- 'out' + corrigia 'thong, strap'). A scourge is a whip used for punishment. The -ing makes it a present participle: the act of whipping. The same root 'corrigia' gives us 'corrigible'? Actually, corrigible is from corrigere (to correct). But scourge is about lashing. So scourging is the act of whipping, originally with a leather thong.
