pole ax |ˈpōˌlaks ˈpoʊˌlæks |(also poleaxe ) ▶noun another term for battle-ax ( sense 1 ). • a short-handled ax with a spike at the back, formerly used in naval warfare for boarding, resisting boarders, and cutting ropes. • a butcher's ax with a hammerhead at the back, used to slaughter animals. ▶verb [ with obj. ] hit, kill, or knock down with or as if with a poleax. • cause great shock to (someone ): I was poleaxed by this revelation. ORIGIN Middle English: related to Middle Dutch pol (l )aex, Middle Low German pol (l )exe (see poll, ax ).
