<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">extirpate</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that extirpate can be written as uproot)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for uproot that I've seen before include "Pull (plant) out of soil" , "Tear up from natural location, eradicate" , "Completely destroy" , "Remove from soil" , "Move forcibly" .)
