concussing
Causing head trauma
Concussing is causing a concussion—a brain injury from impact or violent shaking.
The word appears in sports contexts where head trauma is common: The hit was flagged for concussing the quarterback.
It can also mean stunning or shaking violently more generally: The blast concussed everyone in the room.
