Hello folks. How are you? I wonder if you could give me synonyms for 'to nip something in the bud'? In Spanish we say something like 'to cut something from the root'. I guess that 'Stop something before it gets worse' works but any phrasal verb?
Just to help me fix it 🙂
Thanks a lot language mates.
Have a good one 🙂
