marched
- 1Simple past and past participle of march.
The protesters marched through the city center demanding new elections.

Note
Because march can take an object, meaning to make someone walk somewhere, this form also builds a passive: the prisoners were marched out of the yard, and the boy was marched off to bed. The subject walks but has no say in it. The same spelling carries the figurative sense of steady progress (the work marched on) and the rarer one of sharing a border, where two territories that marched lay side by side.
The prisoners were marched out of the yard before dawn.
Still protesting, the boy was marched off to bed.
