Well, well, well, looks like we have a rebellious student on our hands, breaking all the rules! Transgressed is a fancy word that means to go beyond the boundaries or to violate a rule or law. Now, let's break it down, shall we? The "trans" part of transgressed comes from the Latin word "trans," which means "across" or "beyond." And the "gressed" part comes from the Latin word "gressus," which means "to go." So, when you put it all together, you get someone who has gone beyond the limits or rules. As for the context clues, the sentence clearly states that the student repeatedly violated the school's rules, so we can infer that transgressed means to break or disobey the rules.
