League of Legends' jailer who turns your soul into a lantern and your death into a highlight reel.

means to beat the grain loose from harvested stalks by repeated striking or trampling, or more broadly, to thrash about or pound something violently.

from From Old English 'threscan,' a sturdy Germanic verb meaning to thresh grain, related to German 'dreschen' and Dutch 'dorsen.' The word's sense of violent, repetitive striking later gave us 'thrash,' its own phonetic offspring — the two were once the same word before splitting into farmwork and fistwork.
