1. Elbowed is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "elbow". The term "elbow" primarily refers to the joint that connects the forearm to the upper arm, allowing for movement and flexibility. However, when used as a verb, "elbow" describes the action of using or thrusting one's elbow forcefully and sharply, typically to push or make room for oneself through a crowd, or to gain attention or assert oneself physically.

   In the context of physical encounters, the act of elbowing often involves using one's elbow as a weapon by extending it in a sudden, forceful manner towards someone or something, thereby causing contact or impact. This action can be intentional or accidental, depending on the circumstances. Elbowing is commonly employed as a means of self-defense or self-preservation in a tight or crowded space.

   Figuratively, "elbowed" can also describe exerting pressure or influence, often in a forceful or assertive manner, to achieve a desired outcome. For example, in a competitive environment, one might say they "elbowed their way to the top" to indicate that they outmaneuvered or overcame others to achieve their goals.

   In summary, "elbowed" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "elbow" that describes using one's elbow forcefully and sharply, either physically or metaphorically, to push, gain attention, or assert oneself.
