Extirpate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uproot

'extirpate' is the definition.
(I know that extirpate can be written as uproot)

This is the entire clue.

(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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Canadiana.
