Italian word

eliminare

to eliminate, to remove, to get rid of

Looks like

to eliminate

to completely remove or get rid of

⚠️ The trap

Good match. But in Italian sports contexts, 'essere eliminato' = 'to be knocked out/eliminated (from a competition)' — very common usage that English covers with 'eliminated' but also 'knocked out'.

To say "to completely remove or get rid of" in Italian:

eliminare

"eliminare" in English means:

to eliminate, to remove, to get rid of

Example

"Dobbiamo eliminare gli errori."

"We need to eliminate the errors."
