word · lemma: wipe
Definition
"Wiped" is the past tense and past participle of "wipe." It means cleaned or dried something by rubbing, and it can also mean removed something completely, such as data, marks, or a smile.
Usage & Nuances
Common patterns are "wipe the table," "wipe your hands," and "wipe data." In informal English, "I'm wiped" means very tired, but that is a different use from the literal past-tense verb. "Wipe out" is another common phrasal verb with a stronger meaning like destroy completely or crash badly.
