RFV discussion[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense: “To cause cancer.” Other sources define this as more like “to become cancerous”. The predominant usage seems to be as a participial adjective cancerated, which apparently means “having become cancerous”, but that doesn't tell us much one way or the other (contrast retired and escaped with wounded and accused). —RuakhTALK 21:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
