clean out

more inter-lingual polysemes:

to clean out (English), נָקִי (Hebrew), обчистить (Russian)
these derivatives of the root normally meaning to clean have an informal/vernacular connotation of depriving someone of all their possessions.

PS. TBH, I suspect that the Hebrew reference might not be relevant today...
