crossed off

Removed from list

Crossed off describes something removed from a list by drawing a line through it.

Items get crossed off when completed, eliminated, or no longer relevant: I crossed off milk after grabbing it from the shelf.

The phrase suggests satisfying progress through tasks or systematic elimination of possibilities: We've crossed off three suspects so far.
