It is the passive past participle of the verb "lyödä," which means "to beat," "to strike," or "to hit." The word can be used in various contexts to describe a state of being overcome, physically harmed, or defeated.

In a competitive or confrontational sense, "lyödyksi tuleminen" means to lose a game, a fight, or a competition. For example, a sports team that loses a match has been "lyödyksi." Similarly, if a person is physically attacked and overpowered, they can be described as having been "lyödyksi."

The word can also be used metaphorically. For instance, someone facing a difficult challenge that they cannot overcome might feel "lyödyksi." It implies a sense of helplessness or submission in the face of a stronger force or insurmountable obstacle. The nuance of "lyödyksi" often depends on the surrounding context to determine whether it refers to a literal physical defeat or a more abstract sense of being overcome.
