(Verb) to wound or injure someone so that part of the body is permanently damaged or disabled; to mutilate or cripple; (Noun, archaic/legal) a disabling injury.
Origin
From Old French mahaignier (to mutilate, disable), of uncertain further origin — possibly from a Frankish root. The legal term mayhem, meaning a violent disorder or a form of criminal injury (disabling a person), is directly related and shares the same Old French root. Maim entered English in the 14th century in both the verb and legal noun senses.
