Etymology 2

Perfect passive participle of pellō (“push, expel”).

Participle

pulsus (feminine pulsa, neuter pulsum); first/second-declension participle

  1. expelled, kicked out, having been kicked out.
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 6.362:
      ‘spēs erat in cursū: nunc lare pulsa suō est.’
      “Hope was on course: Now, she has been expelled from her own home.”
      (The Gauls had invaded Rome; Mars asks Jupiter to intervene. The poetic voice of Mars may be understood figuratively as well as literally, because the invaders now occupied the Temple of Spes, or Hope.)
  2. pushed, shoved, having been pushed.
