scourge
A scourge is a whip or lash, especially a multi-thong type, used to inflict severe corporal punishment or self-mortification on the back.
==Etymology==
The word is most commonly considered to be derived from Old French ''escorgier'' - "to whip", going further back to the Vulgar Latin ''excorrigiare'': the Latin prefix ''ex''- "out, off" with its additional English meaning of "thoroughly", plus ''corrigia'' - "thong", or in this case "whip".
Some connect it to (ラテン語:''excoriare''), "to flay", built of two Latin parts, ''ex''- ("off") and ラテン語:''corium'', "skin".
