Removed or eliminated completely, often referring to getting rid of unwanted things, people, or feelings; to cleanse thoroughly.
From Old French 'purger' and Latin 'purgare' meaning to cleanse or clean. Originally used for physical cleaning, the meaning expanded to include removing people, records, or emotions.
The word 'purge' can mean both a physical cleansing (like your body purging toxins) and a political/violent cleansing (like Stalin's purges). This shows how the same word can describe medical processes and some of history's darkest moments.
