traversed
Moved through completely
Traversed is the past tense of traverse, meaning to travel across or through something: We traversed the mountain range in three days.
It suggests covering distance with some effort or purpose—you traverse terrain, not a living room.
In technical contexts, traversed describes systematic movement across a space: a scanner traversing a document, or data structures being traversed in programming.
