extracting
Drawing forcibly forth
Extracting is the act of removing or drawing something out from a larger whole.
You extract a tooth from the jaw, data from a database, a confession from a suspect, or meaning from a text.
The word implies effort or technique: extracting oil from shale, extracting a promise from a reluctant friend.
In chemistry, extracting separates substances using solvents.
