traded away
Exchanged for another
Traded away means exchanged or given up, typically in a transaction where something is surrendered to obtain something else.
In sports, a player traded away is sent to another team: The franchise traded away their star quarterback.
More broadly, it suggests relinquishing something of value: She traded away her weekends for overtime pay.
The phrase often carries a note of loss or sacrifice.
