Stricken

Interesting... stricken says it's the past participle of strike, but this page makes no mention of the word. - dcljr 07:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The third explanation

The third meaning of this word in English is a transitive verb,but strike in the sample sentence is an intransitive verb,why?

• The third verb sense is marked as intransitive. SemperBlotto (talk) 10:46, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Possible derived terms from Chambers 1908

Ch1908 has these. I suspect most are sums of parts really:

• strike a tent, to take it down (if anything, should be an extra sense at strike)
• strike for, to start suddenly for (also SoP? like strike out, start to make one's way?)
• strike from, to remove with a stroke (also SoP?)
• strike hands (Biblical), to become surety for anyone
• strike into, to enter upon suddenly, to break into
• strike out, to bring into light; to form by sudden effort
