Sought is a verb.

It means looked for, basically.

Congress sought the president's approval of the new bill.

It can also mean intended as in Amy intended to win the race.

That can be replaced by Amy sought to win the race.

You can replace the actual words looked for or intended in a sentence with sought:

Maria sought her pencil instead of Maria looked for her pencil.

Or Emily sought to enter the contest rather than Emily intended to enter the contest.

This is the answer you sought.
