Definition

To completely destroy or devastate something with extreme prejudice, leaving nothing but ruin in your wake. While technically a proper English word, it's often deployed dramatically to describe anything from a buffet table after you've attacked it to a sports team's domination. The noun form describes the aftermath of said destruction.

Example Usage

The hurricane ravaged the coastal towns, leaving thousands without power for weeks.
