vapulary - adj., of or related to whipping.


From Latin vapulare, to beat or strike, with particular reference to the punishment of troops. Even as obscure as it is, this comes with the full suite of parts of speech: vapulate, vapulation, vapularily, plus the synonym vapulatory. We could talk, for example, about vapulary fetishes -- or then again, let's not; but the vapulation will continue until morale improves.
