   verb

   The chef sliced the salmon paper-thin for the platter.

   Note

   One regular form serves as both past tense and past participle, and it carries every meaning of slice, not just the kitchen one. A player sliced the shuttlecock or the shot; a stoker sliced the grate bars clear; a rower sliced the blade too deep at the start of a stroke. Every use takes an object, so something is always sliced. With no agent in view, it shades into the plain adjective, as in sliced bread.
