News Words: Extinguish

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.

Wildfires in Spain’s Costa del Sol have forced thousands of people from their homes and destroyed thousands of hectares of forest.
EXTINGUISH

Authorities are describing the flames as an extreme sixth-generation fire brought on by the planet’s shifting climate. Firefighters are hoping for rain to help extinguish the flames.
Here, extinguish means to stop the burning fire but you can also extinguish a light, or stop it from shining. Even non-physical things like emotions and ideas can be extinguished.
