The word delete is a term that we use regularly in our language and always in relation to mention someone's disappearance or deletion of something.
When it is eliminated, it is made to disappear completely, without leaving any trace, what has been appropriately drawn on a surface, either with a pencil, with a pen or with a marker, it is designated in terms of erasing.
In the case of what has been written or drawn on paper, either with a pencil or with a pen or marker, normally, we use what is known as eraser to remove it. The eraser is a handheld element whose strict mission is to eliminate those wrong lines or those that are no longer wanted to appear on paper.
It is called an eraser precisely because its consistency and material it is similar to rubber. It is made from a tree found in the jungle Brazilian virgin and is popularly known as rubber tree. There are many erasers that are already incorporated into pencils or markers, on the opposite side to the one that is written on.
On the other hand we use the word delete when we want to express that we have definitively eliminated from our mind and from our thoughts some situation or question. Generally, those that we find unpleasant or cause us pain are the ones that we decide to make disappear from our head. I want to erase his crying and his recriminations, they have done me very bad.
Likewise, the word is used when in some activity or in an organization and for x reason, a person who participated regularly, stops attending. When that happens, it is said that this or that has been deleted.
Undo and disappear are the synonyms associated with this term, while the opposing words are: include and to write. The first involves understanding one thing to another, while writing is precisely putting a word or a word in pencil or ink. He drew in a sheet.
