| The word "fell"has a varying form of usage depending on context.It could be a verb... the past form of "fall"...it could also be used for pulling down trees(register)..."felling a tree"It could also be used as an adjective meaning "cruel...mean...callous...etc.Simila rly,the expression in/at a fell swoop" is an idiomatic expression meaning something done at once,without any ado. |

| No, rhapsomatrics. Here, "fell" is an adjective meaning "evil", "sinister". |
