screened
SaySKREEND/skɹiːnd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of screen.
Doctors screened thousands of patients during the outbreak.
Each applicant was screened for security risks before being hired.
Note
A regular form, so one spelling does both jobs: doctors screened patients (past tense), and each applicant was screened (passive participle). The verb filters, hides, shows films and tests for disease, so context does the sorting. A screened film was shown, and a screened patient was tested. Adding out turns examining into removing: candidates screened out were filtered away, not merely checked.
