lumbered
Walked without grace
Lumbered is the past tense of lumber, which means to move heavily and clumsily: The bear lumbered through the campsite.
The word suggests bulk combined with awkwardness—elephants lumber, trucks lumber down dirt roads.
In British English, to be lumbered with something is to be stuck with an unwanted burden: I got lumbered with organizing the whole event.
