We have seen how ad- intensifies
a word. Now we are about to see another word of this genre. We often use the
word "nil" to indicate nothing. In English,
there is another form of nil. That is nihil.
Now what would be ad+nihilate.
As we've seen yesterday, it would be annihilate. This
word should have the intensified meaning of nihilate,
and it has.
word:
annihilate
meaning:
To destroy completely, demolish, put out of existence.
usage:
The atomic bomb annihilated the city Hiroshima.
