Purify
Definition:
(v. t.) To make pure or clear from material defilement, admixture, or imperfection; to free from extraneous or noxious matter; as, to purify liquors or metals; to purify the blood; to purify the air.
(v. t.) Hence, in figurative uses: (a) To free from guilt or moral defilement; as, to purify the heart.
(v. t.) To free from ceremonial or legal defilement.
