cross through
Line through text
Cross through means to draw a line across something written, marking it as deleted or invalid: She crossed through the incorrect answer.
The phrase emphasizes the motion of the pen moving across the text, unlike "cross out" which focuses on cancellation.
Both achieve the same result—words visibly struck but still legible beneath the line.
- traverseMove across an area
- cancelRevoke or terminate
- strikeForceful impact or stoppage
- deleteRemove or erase
- slashAngled line or swipe
