dequeued
Pulled from line
Dequeued is the past tense of dequeue, a computing term meaning to remove an item from a queue—a data structure where items are processed in the order they were added.
When a task has been dequeued, it has been pulled from the waiting line for processing: The job was dequeued and sent to the printer.
Outside computing, the word occasionally describes leaving any kind of line or waiting list.
