Remover is a verb that refers to removing , erasing , moving or shaking something . Its etymological origin is found in the Latin word removēre .
For example: “If you want to remove advertising from your website, you must contract a corporate plan and pay for the hosting service” , “I have been trying to remove the limescale from the sink for a long time, but it is a very complicated task” , “The “Neighbors asked to remove the judge who freed the accused of murder.”
Remove stains
In certain contexts , remove implies forcing the disappearance of something . If a man notices that his shirt is stained, he will try to remove the stain with a cleaning product. It can be said that you managed to remove said stain once it has disappeared.
To remove a stain, it is not always enough to wash the garment and apply a specific product, whether industrial or homemade, but it is often necessary to act as soon as it occurs. One of the most common tips is to apply salt directly to the stain immediately and leave it for several minutes; Next, many recommend rubbing the affected area with soap and bread and letting it soak for a few hours, and finally rinsing. Of course, it depends on the type of food or chemical that has fallen on the clothing to choose one method or another.
Remove a person from his position or function
Removing can also mean removing a person from their position or function . The president of a football club can remove the coach from the team if he considers that the results obtained by the institution are not satisfactory.
As can be seen in the previous example, removing a person from an institution does not usually happen just because or due to lack of budget to cover their salary needs, but because of poor performance on their part, whether they have not complied with the expectations of the company or that he has committed a very serious mistake or a crime. Since remove carries in its meaning the idea of making an effort to remove something, of seeking to ensure that something is no longer in a certain place, it is understood that its use as a synonym for "firing someone" refers to more than a mere procedure.
Stir as a synonym for stir
Another use of remove is linked to the actions of stirring or mobilizing .
With a plow or a rake , a person who works in the field can remove the soil and prepare it for planting.
In some countries, stir is used as a synonym for stir in the culinary field. When preparing a sauce or sautéing vegetables, for example, it is normal to move the food around in the pot or pan to prevent it from sticking and to ensure that it cooks evenly. In the following sentence you can see its use in this context: «Pour the contents of the sachet into a liter of cold water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; Then, keep over low heat for ten minutes, stirring from time to time .
Bring something from the past to the present
The idea of removing is also associated with what a person does when they bring to the present an issue that was discarded, repressed or forgotten . Suppose two women who were friends for twenty years get into a fight. Three years later they meet again and become friends. However, one of the women soon stirs up the past, accusing the other of having been responsible for the old fight .
Removing the past is something that many people avoid for fear of remembering traumatic situations that they had buried deep in their memory. However, others enjoy looking for answers based on the most remote facts, since in theory they are what define our personality, our tastes and fears.
