The term "browbeating" originates from the combination of "brow," referring to the forehead or face, and "beat," meaning to intimidate or coerce. It is believed to have emerged in the late 16th century, initially describing the act of intimidating someone through stern looks or gestures. Over time, it evolved to signify verbally bullying or coercing someone into submission. The imagery suggests using one's facial expression or demeanor to exert control over another person.
