ostracism
의미: Exclusion from a group or society by common consent; the deliberate shunning or banishment of a person.
Ostracism describes the act of deliberately excluding someone from a social group, community, or professional circle. It can be formal (as in ancient Athens, where citizens could vote to banish a person for ten years) or informal (being frozen out of a social group). It implies cruelty through collective rejection rather than individual hostility. Common collocations include 'social ostracism,' 'face ostracism,' 'fear of ostracism,' and 'suffer ostracism.'
