deadheaded
Removed spent flowers
Deadheaded has two distinct meanings.
In gardening, it means having removed spent blooms from a plant to encourage new growth: She deadheaded the roses this morning.
In transportation, it describes traveling empty or without passengers—a bus deadheading back to the depot, or a pilot repositioning to another city: The crew deadheaded to Chicago for their next assignment.
