一掃而光

一掃而光意思是很快便掃到沒有了。掃另有意思是購買。
一掃而光 means wiping quickly, implied "dust" is gone very quickly. 一掃 one wipe. 而光 become nothing, vanished. 光 can means bright or light but here means empty to shiny (in empty box). The other meaning of 掃 is buy. In this token, meaning everthing is bought, sold, cleared or cleaned up.
