The popular dictionaries said it was archaic. Its use seemed to uptick in the past two years and just barely pass the threshold for this quiz. I opted to leave it off because it might be archaic… but heck, maybe it’s making a comeback. Plus scathing is so common, and scathed a little common, that people have a fair shot at it. You’ve convinced me!
