Answer

SMITE

This word is a verb meaning to strike with a firm blow, or to affect severely as if by a blow. It has Old English origins and is often associated with biblical or divine punishment, as in phrases like being smitten by a plague. In modern usage, the past participle smitten has taken on the additional meaning of being strongly attracted to someone.
