This term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the destruction or ruination of concepts, ideas, or plans, indicating that they have been dismantled or invalidated.

It involves employing various techniques such as controlled explosions, wrecking balls, or dismantling piece by piece.

Etymology of DEMOLISHED
The word "demolished" comes from the Old French word "démolir", which can be traced back to the Latin word "dēmōlīrī". The Latin term consists of two components: "dē", meaning "down", and "mōlīrī", meaning "to build". So, "dēmōlīrī" literally means "to pull down or tear down".
