To Wipe
transitive verb, godan verb
The kanji means wipe, and this is the verb version of that, making this to wipe.
拭く is generally used for actions involving cleaning or drying surfaces by wiping, often with a cloth, towel, or similar item.
Like verbs usually do, this uses the kun'yomi, which you already learned with the kanji. Lucky you!
