Eradicate (verb): to eradicate something is to get rid of it, to destroy it, and to kiss it goodbye.

I encounter the word while i was reading the article about reason why we shouldn’t take down the confederate monument.

“They didn’t like having black classmates because they had racist hearts. They honored racial prejudice. They harbored cultural bias. That, my friends, is what we must work toward eradicating.”

I’ve never hear of the word eradicate. I thought it’s related to time because the word ‘era’ is in it but after I search it up its no where close to it. I learn that the word is from the latin word ‘eraicare’ which have the similar meaning; to root out. It’s easier to understand the sentence; they honored racial prejudice. They harbored culture bias. Thats, my friends, is what we must work toward getting rid off.
