Scattered or spread around randomly or in a disorderly way.
Here are some examples of how "strewn" is used:
* The park was strewn with leaves. (The leaves were scattered randomly on the ground.)
* The battlefield was strewn with the bodies of fallen soldiers. (The bodies were spread out in a disordered manner.)
* The table was strewn with papers and books. (The papers and books were scattered in a messy way on the table.)
Other meanings:
"Strewn" can also be used figuratively to describe something that is scattered or spread out in a non-physical way. For example:
* His speech was strewn with metaphors. (The speech contained many metaphors, which were not organized in a structured way.)
* The news was strewn with rumors. (The news was full of unconfirmed information.)
It's important to note that "strewn" is often used in a passive voice construction. For example, "The park was strewn with leaves" is in the passive voice. The active voice would be "Someone strewed the leaves in the park."
