抜く

抜く has a range of nuances depending on the object and construction. It often means to physically pull something out or remove something from a larger whole. It also extends to figurative removal or extraction (picking out key parts, excluding something unnecessary), bypassing or skipping something, and carrying something through to the end (やり抜く). Additionally, it can mean to relieve or release tension or fatigue by removing the pressure. Use is common with parts of text, items, or problems, as well as in expressions about effort and endurance.
