ELIMINATION
Elimination is the process of getting rid of
something, whether it's waste, errors, or the
competition. Elimination comes from the Latin
word limen, which means threshold. The Romans
added an “e” to the beginning and created the
verb eliminare, which means to banish or to push
over the threshold and out the door.
