Meaning of "chevauché" in French

"Chevauché" in French typically means "rode" as in riding a horse. It is the past participle of the verb "chevaucher," which means to mount or to ride. While primarily used in a literal sense involving horseback riding, it can sometimes be used in a more figurative sense to imply moving over something astride. However, it doesn't carry the same connotations of maneuvering or strategizing as "jockeyed" does in English.
