queened

Reached eighth rank

Queened is the past tense of queen, a verb with several distinct uses.

In chess, if a pawn is queened, it reaches the opponent's back rank and is promoted to a queen—the most powerful piece.

More broadly, to queen someone is to make them a queen or treat them like one: She was queened by her adoring fans.

In beekeeping, a hive is queened when a new queen bee is introduced.

The term also appears in sexual contexts, referring to a dominant position during oral sex.
