anviled
Pounded on iron
Anviled is the past tense of anvil used as a verb, meaning to shape or work metal on an anvil.
The term appears in metalworking and blacksmithing contexts where heated metal is hammered into form on the flat iron block.
It also sees use in gaming communities, particularly in reference to dropping heavy objects on targets or characters, evoking the cartoon trope of anvils falling from above.
The blacksmith anviled the horseshoe into shape.
