1. 1剝奪財產(或土地)

    Dispossession is the act or result of taking property or land away from someone — the taking itself, named as a thing. If a family loses their farm, the dispossession is what happened to them. It is a formal noun with a law-and-history flavour; you find it in news, courts, and books about land and power, not in chat about losing a bag. It can be slow, over years, or sudden, in a war. It names the process or the event, not the feeling (that might be grief or anger) and not the people (those are the dispossessed). The sense line sounds like a verb because that is the event inside the noun; English parked the action in a heavy ending.

組成From dis- + possession. dis-(「去掉/相反」)+ possession(「擁有;產業」)。
