2. 
   extirpate
   To destroy or eliminate completely. Not necessarily synonymous with extinction, since extirpate may be applied to circumscribed populations within the range of a given species, so it might be said that such-and-such a population has been extirpated, even though the species as a whole is still extant. Although the term extinct may also be applied in a restricted sense, it is more often used to denote the fate of a species as a whole.
