Definition
The act of empaleing or the state of being empaled; impalement.
Etymology
From empale + -ment (suffix forming nouns from verbs, from Old French -ment). Also spelled impalement, with em- representing the older Anglo-Saxon form.
Kelly Says
The -ment suffix creates nouns that describe either the action or the result—empalement can mean both 'the act of piercing' and 'the state of being pierced,' which is why abstract nouns are slippery but efficient in English.
