 Whilst several Muslim scholars contest that the meaning of the word اضربوهن, transcribed as ""iḍribūhunna"", as ambiguous, grammatically it is not. The Quran is grammatically very specific leaving little room for interpretation on this occasion. It is the plural imperative of the form 1 of the root ضرب and as such means ""hit or beat"". The ا prefix indicates the imperative command, ضرب is the root, the و suffix the plural of the command and finally هن, which is the third person female plural, or in layman's terms: them. In sum: ""beat them.""

 I'm not sure what 'form 1' refers to, as a native Arabic speaker the etymology comes from ضرب which as explained could mean many things, not just to beat them. While generally this is how the word is interpreted, some terms from the source are still used in Arabic from taxes, dhara'ib, to stock trading, mudharaba, kindly provide a source or else let's delete the para as false and unhelpful.
