flagged
word · lemma: flag
Definition
Marked for attention or as a warning, often because there may be a problem or something unusual. Often used for emails, posts, or records that need review.
Usage & Nuances
Common in both digital and formal contexts: 'flagged email', 'flagged account'. Implies needing extra attention or investigation. Not the same as 'marked' in a neutral sense—'flagged' usually suggests an issue or notice. Passive forms are frequent (e.g., 'has been flagged').
