To bust means ‘to hit, burst, or break.’ We also use bust, followed by the preposition up, to mean ‘to damage or destroy’ or to refer to a couple ending their relationship. Informally, it means ‘to arrest someone’ or ‘to enter a house in a police raid.’ As a noun, a bust is a failure, a sudden economic depression, or a police raid. As an adjective, it means ‘bankrupt.’ The past tense and past participle of bust can be either busted or bust.
