ORIGINAL: Real0ne ex·ter·mi·nate ikˈstərməˌnāt/ verb verb: exterminate; 3rd person present: exterminates; past tense: exterminated; past participle: exterminated; gerund or present participle: exterminating destroy completely. "after exterminating the entire population, the soldiers set fire to the buildings" synonyms: kill, put to death, take/end the life of, dispatch; More slaughter, butcher, massacre, wipe out, eliminate, eradicate, annihilate; murder, assassinate, execute, slay; informaldo away with, bump off, do in, take out, blow away, ice, rub out, waste "they were hired to exterminate the carpenter ants" kill (a pest). "they use poison to exterminate moles" Origin late Middle English (in the sense ‘drive out, banish’): from Latin exterminat- ‘driven out, banished,’ from the verb exterminare, from ex- ‘out’ + terminus ‘boundary.’ thats what the word meant up till 1950's where it magically was given a new meaning and with great advertising! Source? A disembodied lump of text with no provenance proves nothing. When you can demonstrate that the old english definition was still in use any later than the seventeenth century, then we can discuss this like you have a clue what you're talking about. Until then, you have 475,000 dead Germans to account for.
