soldiered
- 1Simple past and past participle of soldier.
She soldiered in the infantry for nearly a decade before retiring.
He soldiered on through years of setbacks without ever losing heart.
Note
One regular form does double duty as past tense and past participle. Because nearly every meaning of the verb is intransitive, the participle usually appears in perfect tenses (she had soldiered on) rather than the passive. Two readings pull in opposite directions: soldiered on means kept striving, while a crew that simply soldiered worked as slowly as it dared. Only the slang sense, riding someone else's horse without leave, takes an object.
