Demove

/dɪˈmuːv/ verb

Definition

To move down or away from a place; an archaic or rare term meaning to remove or displace something.

Etymology

From de- (down, away) + move (change position). This is an archaic English word rarely used in modern English, possibly from Old French demover.

Kelly Says

Demove is so old and uncommon that most English speakers have never encountered it—it's the kind of word you find in medieval texts that has been almost completely replaced by simpler words like 'move' or 'remove.'
