deducted
Removed from total
Deducted is the past tense and past participle of deduct, meaning to subtract or take away an amount from a total.
It appears most often in financial contexts: The cost was deducted from my paycheck.
When something is deducted, it reduces what remains—whether that's money, points, or credit.
The word implies an official or systematic removal rather than a casual subtraction.
