Answer:

It means he or she wants to speak

Step-by-step explanation:

There might be deliberation on a particular motion in congress, or there is an argument in congress about a particular topic. When a congress man or woman states " I move to strike the last Word" it means he or she wants to speak and once it is granted, he or she can speak.

NB; This is only said in congress like in the united states.
