One way to hold this word: something that has been hit, and hit again, and hit again. Not one clean break — many blows over time, until the surface is all dents and marks. That picture works whether the blows come from , from years of travel, or from a person.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives the form as batter + -ed, where batter means to strike something hard and repeatedly.
來源資料寫的是 batter 加上 -ed。batter 指的是一下一下地重打，所以 battered 字面就是「被反覆打過的」。
