In literature, the word “eradicate” has been used both in its literal sense—to completely remove or destroy something tangible—and in a more abstract, metaphorical way to denote the elimination of ideas, beliefs, or tendencies. For instance, authors like Jesse F. Bone in multiple passages ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) employ the term to describe the systematic removal of pests or even entrenched notions, while others, such as Schopenhauer ([6]) and Rousseau ([7]), use it to suggest that deeply held ideas or cultural values can be culled, albeit with difficulty. Mark Twain ([8]) and Fielding ([9], [10]) extend this idea further, implying that personal attributes or social affections, though impervious to complete obliteration, can at best be subdued. Meanwhile, Nietzsche ([11]), Griffis ([12]), Webster ([13]), Bernard Shaw ([14]), La Rochefoucauld ([15]), Santayana ([16]), Plutarch ([17]), Dostoyevsky ([18]), and even a technical report ([19]) show the term’s versatility in addressing everything from moral rectitude to historical memory and even agricultural concerns, thereby highlighting the word’s robust capacity to convey total, transformative elimination across varied contexts.
