decked
Sent sprawling suddenly
Decked has two main senses.
To be decked is to be adorned or decorated: The halls were decked with holly.
In informal use, to deck someone is to knock them down with a punch: He decked the guy with one hit.
The past tense works both ways—festively decorated or flat on the ground.
