Answer
The answer to Crossed (out) is X'D (4 letters).
Why does X'D fit this clue?
This clue works as a direct definition where 'Crossed (out)' points to EXED, a casual past-tense verb meaning to mark something with an X in order to delete or cancel it. When you cross out a word or item on a list, you draw an X through it, and the letter X itself is the symbol doing the crossing. The answer is displayed in the grid as X'D, a shorthand spelling that treats the letter X as a standalone symbol followed by the past-tense suffix, the same way people write 'X'd out' in informal writing.
