Pronunciation

Verb

ēvellō (present infinitive ēvellere, perfect active ēvellī, supine ēvulsum); third conjugation

  1. to tear, pull or pluck out
    • c. 52 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Gallico 1.25:
      Gallis magno ad pugnam erat impedimento quod pluribus eorum scutis uno ictu pilorum transfixis et conligatis, cum ferrum se inflexisset, neque evellere neque sinistra impedita satis commode pugnare poterant, multi ut diu iactato bracchio praeoptarent scutum manu emittere et nudo corpore pugnare.
      It was a great hindrance to the Gauls in fighting, that, when several of their bucklers had been by one stroke of the (Roman) javelins pierced through and pinned fast together, as the point of the iron had bent itself, they could neither pluck it out, nor, with their left hand entangled, fight with sufficient ease; so that many, after having long tossed their arm about, chose rather to cast away the buckler from their hand, and to fight with their person unprotected.
  2. to erase or eradicate
