My Word: Eviscerated

Source: The case of Nicholson v. McClatchy Newspaper (1986)

How it was used: “Without some protection for seeking out the news, freedom of press could be eviscerated.”

Definition: verb
1. to remove the entrails from, disembowel
2. to deprive of vital or essential parts.

My sentence: The parents eviscerated inappropriate parts of the movie so that the kids are able to watch it.
