Definition
To polish thoroughly; to make smooth or glossy by polishing away rough surfaces.
Etymology
From Latin ex- (thoroughly) + polish. An archaic or rare formation creating a verb with intensive force—'to polish out' or 'to polish away completely.'
Kelly Says
This gorgeous obsolete word contains pure action: ex- (thoroughly) + polish (to smooth). We've lost it to simpler vocabulary, but 'expolish' has the weight of intentional, complete refinement.
