thwacked
Struck with force
Thwacked is the past tense of thwack, meaning to strike with a sharp blow that produces a loud smacking sound.
The word is onomatopoeic, imitating the noise of impact: She thwacked the rug with a broom.
It suggests a forceful hit with something flat or flexible—a paddle, a newspaper, an open hand.
