flagellated
Beaten with cords
Flagellated means having one or more flagella—the whip-like appendages that certain cells use for movement.
In biology, flagellated organisms include many bacteria and protozoa: flagellated sperm cells, a flagellated parasite.
The word also serves as the past tense of flagellate, meaning to whip or flog: The penitents flagellated themselves.
