Definition
Bruised or injured by blunt-force impact without the skin being broken.
Etymology
Past participle of 'contuse,' from Latin 'contusus.' The -ed ending marks it as an adjective describing a state of having been bruised.
Kelly Says
In medical reports, you'll see 'contused tissue' or 'contused area'—it's the doctor's precise way of saying 'bruised' while indicating they know exactly what kind of injury it is. The term separates simple bruises from other types of trauma.
