Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb 'evellere', composed of the prefix 'e-' (out of, away from) and 'vellere' (to pluck, pull, or tear). Entering English in the early 17th century, it retained its literal anatomical and botanical sense of pulling or plucking out by the roots.
