Etymology
The word 'expel' originates from the Latin 'expellere', which means 'to drive out' or 'to force out'. This Latin term is a combination of the prefix 'ex-' meaning 'out' and 'pellere' meaning 'to drive'. The term has been in use in the English language since the late Middle Ages, around the 15th century. Over time, its application broadened from primarily physical removal to include metaphorical contexts, such as expulsion from schools or communities. In modern usage, it often relates to formal proceedings and consequences resulting from violation of rules or laws. The concept of expulsion carries significant implications, especially in educational and institutional contexts, underscoring the severity of certain actions or behaviors.
