Punishment or voluntary penance administered by means of a whip, rod, or stick; mentioned in both Old and New Testaments. In the fifth and succeeding centuries it was employed as a sanction in monastic discipline, and in the 13th century canon law recognized it as a punishment for ecclesiastics. Abuse of the practise of self-flagellation gave rise to the sect known as Flagellants.
