Etymology

From ex- +‎ stinguō.

Pronunciation

Verb

exstinguō (present infinitive exstinguere, perfect active exstīnxī, supine exstīnctum); third conjugation

  1. to quench, extinguish, put out
  2. (figuratively) to destroy, kill, slay, abolish
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.682-683:
      “Exstīnxtī tē mēque, soror, populumque patrēsque
      Sīdoniōs urbemque tuam. [...]”
      “You have destroyed you and me both, sister, and the people, and the Sidonian fathers, and your city.”
      (Anna, grief-stricken, speaks in hyperbole to Dido. Syncopation: “exstīnxtī” for “exstīnx[is]tī.” “Populumque patrēsque” echoes the Roman phrase senatus populusque romanus.)
  • 69 BCE, Cicero, De Imperio Cn. Pompei 5.11:
    Corinthum patres vestri totius Graeciae lumen exstinctum esse voluerunt
    Your forefathers wanted Corinth, the light of all of Greece, to be destroyed
