triturate - v., to crush or grind to a very fine powder, pulverize.
Also a noun, a triturated substance, especially a triturated drug. From Late Latin trītūrāre, to thresh, from classical Latin trītūra, a threshing, from trītus, past participle of terere, to thresh. Yes, a word evolved a more complicated form because they forgot the earlier one.
