What does UNROOT mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To pull something up by its roots, or to remove it completely as if tearing out a root.
Unroot works the same way as uproot, describing the act of tearing a plant, tree, or stump out of the ground along with its roots. Storms can unroot old trees just as easily as a gardener can unroot a stubborn weed, and both uses stress the total removal of something that was firmly anchored. The word extends by comparison to anything deeply established being torn away, though this figurative sense is far less common than the literal one.
