Immolate

Postby justscience » Mon Feb 21, 2022 8:29 pm

To destroy by fire, to offer as a sacrifice by burning.
My mother would destroy all spiders in the house by immolation if it were safe to do so. War protesters held ceremonial draft card immolations. I almost immolated myself with a stupid party trick involving vodka.
Good and underutilized action verb.
Immolate, baby, immolate!

For a truly operatic immolation, it's hard to beat Wagner's "Götterdämmerung".
