halted
HAWL-tid/ˈhɔːltɪd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of halt.
The strike halted production for nearly a week.
All outbound flights were halted after the storm rolled in.
Note
A regular past form, so one spelling does double duty: the strike halted production (simple past), and production had been halted (participle, after have or in the passive). Older writing hides a trap. Halt once also meant to limp, hesitate, waver or falter, so a traveler who halted was limping and verse that halted was lame. All of these senses are now obsolete, so check the context before assuming anything stopped.
