excommunicate
意味: To officially exclude someone from participation in the sacraments and services of a church; by extension, to formally expel from any organisation or community.
Excommunicate is primarily a religious term describing the most severe ecclesiastical punishment — the complete severing of a person's ties to their church. In Catholic canon law, excommunication bars a person from receiving sacraments and participating in church life. 'Excommunicated from the Church,' 'threatened with excommunication,' and 'formally excommunicated' are standard collocations. The word is occasionally used figuratively in secular contexts to describe extreme organisational expulsion, though this usage is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
