What Does Beheaded Mean?

Beheaded means that someone or something has had their head cut off or removed. It can also be used figuratively to describe a situation where something has been completely eliminated or eradicated, as if it had been cut off at the root.

For example, "The king was beheaded for treason" means that the king was executed by having his head cut off.

In a more figurative sense, "The company's reputation was beheaded after the scandal" means that the company's reputation was completely ruined and eliminated as if it had been cut off at the root.
