- 1Simple past and past participle of greek.
The studio greeked the body copy to keep the client focused on the grid.

Note
One spelling serves as both past tense and participle. Because the design and production senses are transitive, the participle readily takes the passive: the body copy was greeked, every unlicensed logo had been greeked out of the shot. The same form once belonged to an obsolete card-table verb meaning to cheat at cards. Today's senses are about hiding content behind placeholders.
