There are two groff man pages, one for the binary (which is in
section 1) and one for the language (in section 7).  Try

  man 7 groff

which gives

 \Z’anything’
   Print <anything> and then restore the horizontal and vertical
   position; <anything> may not contain tabs or leaders.

`info groff' has the same text (in section `Page Motions') plus this
example:

     The following is an example of a strike-through macro:

          .de ST
          .nr ww \w'\\$1'
          \...@\v'-.25m'\l'\\n[ww]u'@\\$1
          ..
          .
          This is
          .ST "a test"
          an actual emergency!
