v. t. [From Lat. ab and eruncare, to weed out, from e, ex, out, and runcare, to root up; O. Fr. averronquer. This word ought to be written aberuncate, but it has been confounded with the Lat. averruncare, which signifies, to avert, hinder, remove.] To root up; to tear away by the roots; to eradicate. Hudibras.
