Etymology
The word "eliminar" comes from the Latin verb 'eliminare,' which means 'to turn out of doors' or 'to expel.' It is formed from 'e-' (a variant of 'ex-,' meaning 'out of') and 'limen,' meaning 'threshold' or 'entrance.' So, "eliminar" literally means to push something out beyond the threshold. Did you know that this original sense relates to physically expelling someone from a place?
