phrasal verb

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

phrasal verb

Grammatical construction in which a verb is followed by a preposition or an adverb, and the combined meaning is different from the sum of the parts. An example is when we talk about whether a plan will ‘come off’, however this pattern does not necessarily imply a phrasal verb, as in ‘looked up’.
