Raided

"Raided" is the past tense and past participle of the verb "raid" and functions as an adjective to describe something that has been subject to a raid. A raid is a sudden, typically forceful entry or attack intended to seize goods, detain people, gather intelligence, enforce laws, or achieve a specific tactical objective.

In law enforcement and military contexts, raids are planned operations that can involve arrests, searches, seizures, and targeted strikes. They may be executed with warrants or under emergency or combat conditions, and are governed by legal rules, oversight mechanisms, and rules of engagement that vary by jurisdiction. Military raids are often short-duration, high-impact actions aimed at a particular target, while police raids focus on criminal enforcement and evidence collection.

The term also appears in economic and corporate contexts; a "corporate raid" historically refers to an aggressive attempt to acquire control of a company, often involving rapid accumulation of shares. In cultural and recreational spheres, "raid" is commonly used in gaming to describe coordinated group missions against powerful opponents or objectives. In streaming communities such as Twitch, "raided" denotes the practice of one streamer directing their audience to another channel at the end of a broadcast, a social gesture intended to support or bolster the recipient.

Colloquially, "raided" can describe spaces that have been emptied or pillaged, such as a raided pantry or warehouse, and it carries neutral to negative connotations depending on context and legality.
