Decimate - to destroy or reduce by one tenth, which means 10% destroyed, but 90% remains. This word is often used incorrectly in place of the word devastate.Sentence: Although a disaster was said to decimate the city's homes, 90% of the homes remained intact.

Because I had eaten a big breakfast, I was only able to decimate my lunch.
