Definition
A traditional Scottish method of disciplinary punishment that involved beating someone with a drumstick or similar instrument.
Etymology
Scottish English: 'drum' + 'read' (from Old English 'rǽd,' meaning advice or direction), combining to mean a drum-based form of corporal correction common in medieval times.
Kelly Says
This harsh Scottish punishment shows how even musical instruments had brutal uses in history—someone would be subjected to rhythmic beating with drumsticks, making it both literally and metaphorically painful!
