Definition: (sometimes with out or through) To delete or cross out; to scratch or eliminate.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
We’ve got a tricky word today – “struck.” The dictionary gives us a good clue, doesn't it? It says something about deleting, crossing out, scratching… let’s unpack that a bit.
Think of it like this: imagine you’re writing on a piece of paper and you want to erase something. You might
strike
it out with a pen – that’s one way “struck” can be used!
It also means to remove something completely, like when a lightning bolt
strikes
a building – it eliminates it entirely.
And sometimes, "struck" can even mean to pierce or go through something, like a dart being
struck
by an archer.
So, “struck” really has a few different meanings! It’s about taking something away, whether it's with a pen, with force, or simply by eliminating it altogether.
