1. exile

   Banish, primarily to put under ban, to compel by authority to leave a place or country, perhaps with restriction to some other place or country. From a country, a person may be banished, exiled, or expatriated; banished from any country where he may happen to be, but expatriated or exiled only from his own. One may expatriate or exile himself; he is banished by others. Banish is a word of wide import; one may banish disturbing thoughts; care may banish sleep. To expel is to drive out with violence or rudeness, and so often with disgrace.

   Synonyms:
   ban, banish, discharge, dislodge, dismiss, drive out, eject, evict, expatriate, expel, ostracize, oust

   Preposition:
   Cataline was banished from Rome; John the Apostle was banished to Patmos.
