The word smite (German: Schmiss [m.]) refers to the wound and the resulting scar when a fencer gets hurt during a Mensur.

Because there's always the risk to get hurt during a Mensur, there's always at least one doctor present.

If the smite is too severe to continue, the doctor can decide to abort the fight.

The word smite also refers to any striking with a blunt object, particularly one charged as holy or unholy (i.e., smiting the infidels).
