BUDGED Meaning and Definition

  1. Budged is a verb that refers to the act of moving slightly or making a small adjustment in position. This term is commonly used to describe the minimal movement or shifting of an object or a person. When something budges, it means that it has shifted even if only by a small amount.

    The concept of budging often implies resistance or difficulty in moving or changing position. For example, if a heavy object is stuck and difficult to move, making it budge requires applying additional force or effort. In this context, budging can be seen as the initial movement needed to overcome the resistance or friction preventing the object from moving freely.
