實體被擠開
最字面的一層:一個有形的東西被外力推離原本的位置。
force out of position · verb · C1
To force something out of its usual place or position.
使移位
A way to think of it: something is pushed out of the spot where it belongs. Dis- + place — take it off its place.
From Middle French desplacer: des- 'away' + place 'place' — literally to put out of place.
來自中古法語 desplacer:des-(離開、去除)+ place(位置),字面就是「使離開原位」。今天所有用法都還踩在這個字面意思上,只是被擠走的東西從一塊石頭換成一群人、或一種舊技術。
