As used in canon:

   SIQwI' lu'oy'moHmeH juppu'Daj 'oy'naQmey lo' chaH
   The Painstik is employed by friends of the recipient... S32

Derived from the verb {SIQ} "endure, bear" (i.e. pain).  Cf. also {lopwI'} 
"initiate" (lit. "celebrant, one who celebrates"), which also refers to the 
person undergoing the Age of Ascension ritual {nentay}:

   poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'
   The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors. S9

Klingon--that's
Ca'Non Master of the Klingons      hard!"         (Montgomery Scott to 
Kirk, STIV)
