Etymology
The word "eliminar" comes from the Latin verb 'eliminare,' which means 'to turn out of doors' or 'expel.' It combines 'e-' (a variant of 'ex-,' meaning 'out of') with 'limen,' meaning 'threshold.' Did you know? Originally, it implied literally driving someone out of a house or place, but now it’s used more broadly to mean removing or eradicating something.
