lunged
Made sudden thrust
Lunged is the past tense of lunge, describing a sudden forward movement of the body, typically to attack, reach, or grab something.
When someone lunges, they thrust themselves toward a target with force and intent: He lunged at the intruder with a kitchen knife.
The word often implies aggression or urgency, though it can also describe athletic movements like fencing thrusts or workout exercises.
