Transitivity: 他動詞(たどうし) (transitive). The thing overcome takes , and the verb is nearly always used in the て form before the main clause: 〜()()って….

Compound verb: Formed from () (to push) + () (to cut). The auxiliary () adds the nuance of 'completely' or 'all the way through.'

Register: Sense 1 is common in news writing and formal narration about decisions made over objections; it is not an everyday conversational verb. Sense 2 is technical, used about blades and cutting machines.
