None of those words can replace make obsolete in the sentence the automobile made the blacksmith obsolete, but that's beside the point; we're looking for a word that works in the OP's (and similar) examples. I'm not really happy with any of the suggestions, either, but your answer does a terrible job of explaining why they're all no good. | |

Very minor spelling corrections, which I wouldn't bother with on any other site, and a few even more minor to hit the 6 char minimum
