指将某人从职位、权力或某个地方强行驱逐或罢免的行为。通常用于政治、商业等正式场合,表示被迫离开某个重要职位。

His ouster from the party was seen as a political maneuver by his rivals, who had long sought to diminish his influence.
他被逐出党派被视为对手的一场政治手段,那些人早就想削弱他的影响力。
ouster 源自盎格鲁-法语 ouster,意为"驱逐、赶走",进一步追溯至古法语 oster(移除),最终来自拉丁语 obstare,意为"阻挡、对抗"。该词最早在法律领域使用,指非法侵占他人财产或将人逐出占有地的行为,后来扩展为更广泛的"罢免、驱逐"之意。
