beggared
Reduced to poverty
Beggared means reduced to poverty or exhaustion.
To beggar someone is to impoverish them utterly: The medical bills beggared the family.
The phrase beggars belief or beggars description means something exceeds the capacity of belief or language—it's so extreme that even imagination comes up short: The scale of the disaster beggared comprehension.
