cruised
SayKROOZD/kɹuːzd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of cruise.
They cruised the Mediterranean coast for two relaxing weeks.
That ship has cruised these waters for several decades.
Note
One spelling does two jobs: the simple past (they cruised home at dusk) and the past participle after have (the ship has cruised these waters for decades). Because the verb works both ways, intransitive for sailing or holding a steady speed and transitive for working an area, the participle also builds passives, as when a stand of forest is cruised to estimate its lumber. The spelling simply adds -d to the final e.
