disabled (as in out of action) adj., adv.: hors de combat [French]

[Fashion designer] Oscar de la Renta was hors de combat for a moment there after a model accidentally stabbed him with her 5-foot stiletto heel on a fashion runway. Ah, the perils of haute couture! (Liz Smith, How Oscar Partied, Newsday, 03/26/1998, p. A15.)
