Origin of the word bruising

The word "bruising" originates from the Old English word "brusan," which means "to crush" or "to beat." This word is also related to the Old English word "brus," which means "blow" or "strike." Over time, the spelling of the word evolved to "bruising," and it has retained its original meaning of causing damage or injuring tissue, particularly by applying pressure or force to an area. In medical contexts, bruising refers specifically to the discoloration or bleeding that occurs when blood vessels are damaged and blood leaks into the surrounding tissues. This type of injury is common in sports injuries, falls, and other types of trauma. The word "bruising" has been used in English since the 14th century and is still used today in both medical and everyday contexts.
