garnisheed
Court-ordered salary deduction
Garnisheed is the past tense of garnish in its legal sense—to seize money, typically wages, to satisfy a debt.
When someone's wages are garnisheed, a portion is withheld by their employer and sent directly to a creditor: His paycheck was garnisheed to cover back child support.
The spelling garnished also appears in legal contexts.
