Re: racinate

[John Henne <library@MOOSE.NCIA.NET>]

I can't find reference to the word "racinate," but there is a somewhat
common word "deracinate."  It means to pull out by the roots; extirpate;
or to seperate from one's environment.  The root of the word is the
French word "racine" which means "root." (no pun intended)

Perhaps in biology the word racinate means to root, therefore the
opposite would be deracinate.  Maybe?
