SCABBED Meaning and
Definition
-
Scabbed is an adjective that describes something or someone that has formed or possesses scabs. A scab is a dry, hard crust that forms over a wound or sore as part of the natural healing process. When a person or animal sustains an injury, the body works to repair the damaged skin or tissue by forming a scab. This scab serves as a protective covering, preventing further injury and allowing the body to heal underneath.
The term "scabbed" can also be used figuratively to indicate a person or group that is regarded as traitorous or disloyal. In labor disputes, for example, a worker who continues to work despite a strike, thereby undermining the collective action taken by the union, may be referred to as a scab. This usage of the term connotes a betrayal of solidarity and a willingness to work against the best interests of fellow workers.
In addition to these definitions, "scabbed" can also be used to describe something that has become encrusted or covered with hardened material. For example, a scabbed-over wound may refer to a healing injury that has formed a protective covering. Similarly, scabbed paint on a surface would indicate a thin layer of dried or hardened paint that has partially chipped or deteriorated.
