Etymology: "Banged" is the past tense of "bang," a verb probably taken from Old Norse "banga," meaning to hammer or beat, and the sound of the word itself mimics a sudden, forceful blow. The sexual slang sense is a later figurative extension of that idea of forceful striking, though its exact timing is uncertain.
