Stroke, blow; specifically the impact of a battering ram against city walls during siege
This military term appears in Ezekiel 26:9, describing Nebuchadnezzar's siege of Tyre: 'the stroke of his battering rams he will direct against your walls.' The word captures the repetitive impact of siege engines pounding fortifications. Ancient battering rams delivered tremendous striking force, designed to crack and eventually breach defensive walls. Ezekiel's prophecy makes these strokes tangible—the relentless mechanical blows that would eventually break Tyre's seemingly impregnable defenses. The term emphasizes physical force repeatedly applied.
