Past tense of 'east' (archaic or dialect); moved toward the east or changed direction eastward.
From Old English 'east' used as a verb meaning to move east, with regular past tense '-ed' suffix. Rare in modern English except in historical or regional dialects.
Like 'norths' or 'souths,' using compass directions as verbs is linguistically possible but practically vanished—GPS and standardized language made these poetic movement verbs unnecessary.
