Other forms: tromping; tromped; tromps
To tromp is to walk in a heavy, plodding way, perhaps making a stomping or clomping sound.
A person who is walking somewhere in a very deliberate, forceful manner may tromp there. A sulky child who wants everyone to know he's angry about something may tromp around the house. When a person tromps, their steps are heavy and usually easy to hear, like an upstairs neighbor whose stomping and thudding around keeps you awake at night. The word tromp is also used more figuratively to mean "soundly defeat" or "trounce," as in "We tromped the other team at the state championships!"
