Answer

PURGE

This word can function as both a verb and a noun, meaning to rid or cleanse something of unwanted elements. It comes from the Latin word purgare, meaning to make clean. The term is commonly used in political contexts to describe the removal of opposing factions, but also appears in everyday usage related to decluttering or dietary cleanses.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has two vowels but they are not the most common ones like A or E in first position. When your usual vowel hunting comes up short, try words with U to catch those trickier vowel placements.
