sabered
Cut by sword
Sabered is the past tense of saber, meaning to strike or cut with a saber—a curved cavalry sword.
The word appears in historical accounts of mounted combat: The hussars sabered the fleeing infantry.
In contemporary use, sabering refers to opening a champagne bottle by sliding a saber along the neck to break it cleanly at the lip: She sabered the bottle to celebrate.
