1
verb
Simple past and past participle of grasp.
The climber grasped the narrow ledge just before slipping.
She had grasped the meaning of the poem only after reading it twice.
Note
One regular -ed form does double duty here. Standing alone it is the simple past (the climber grasped the ledge). After have or be it builds the perfect and the passive (the point was quickly grasped). It carries every meaning of the verb: a hand gripping, a mind understanding, someone seizing a chance. Context, not form, is what tells a grasped rope from a grasped idea.
