And an answer consisting only a massive screenshot, which is how it appears on a desktop computer, is not helpful to users who use screen readers. | |

I'm afraid this doesn't answer the question. My question asks for a word of the same root, not just a word that fits the gap. Extinct has its roots in the Latin word extinguere - extinguish whereas exterminate has roots in ex-terminus meaning "to put outside of the boundary"
