☆  eliminate  取り除く

============================

Today’s word means to remove something that you do not want or need. It is a formal word and often heard in the news, politics, or meetings. For example:

The new legislation does not completely eliminate discrimination in employment.
Our company is down-sizing and eliminating some departments that are no longer profitable.

You might also hear it used by doctors or dieticians, for example, in order to create a healthy diet, you might need to eliminate certain foods or drink from your diet.

For me, right now, it’s Christmas time, and everyone is going crazy spending lots of money and buying so many unnecessary presents, so I feel that we need to eliminate the commercialism of Christmas!

Bye,
