uncreate

Reverse into nothing

To uncreate is to undo the act of creation—to return something to nonexistence or its state before being made.

The word appears in theological and philosophical contexts: Can God uncreate what He has created?

In fantasy and science fiction, characters might uncreate worlds or beings.

The word carries more weight than simply destroy, implying reversal of the creative act itself.
