WAFFLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Waffled is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "waffle." "Waffle" has multiple meanings, and the definition of "waffled" can depend on the context in which it is used.
The first meaning of "waffle" refers to a type of breakfast food, often eaten with syrup or other toppings. It is cooked by pouring batter onto a hot, patterned iron plate, resulting in a crisp and grid-like design on the finished product.

For example, one might say, "During the debate, the politician waffled on the topic of tax reforms, failing to give a direct answer." Or, "In his essay, the student waffled between different arguments, lacking a clear thesis statement."
