SCRAPED Meaning and
Definition
-
Scraped is the past tense form of the verb "scrape." The word "scrape" refers to the act of rubbing or dragging an object against a hard surface with force, often resulting in the removal or alteration of material from the object or the surface it comes in contact with.
In its literal sense, when an object is scraped, it implies that it has been scratched, removed or abraded. For example, if a car scrapes against a wall, it means that the car's body has come in contact with the wall, resulting in visible marks, scratches, or damage. Similarly, if one scrapes their knee, it implies that the skin's upper layer has been rubbed off, causing a wound or abrasion.
Metaphorically, the term "scraped" can also refer to a narrow escape from a dangerous or problematic situation. It suggests that an individual barely managed to elude or avoid certain negative consequences, such as facing punishment, injury, or failure.
In summary, "scraped" describes the action or result of forcefully rubbing or dragging an object against a hard surface, causing removal, damage, or alteration of material. It can pertain to both literal instances of scratching or abrading objects, as well as metaphorical situations where an individual narrowly averts negative consequences.
