To oust someone is to force them out of a job, a role, or a seat of power — often so that you, or your side, can take that place. You oust a leader, a coach, a CEO, a party in government. It is a strong, slightly formal word, and news writers like it. You do not oust someone from a chair at dinner; you oust them from a position. The feeling is force: votes, pressure, a fight in a company, a change of government — not a polite "please leave." It is about people and power, not about taking things out of a box.
趕下台、迫使下台（把人從權位上趕走，好讓自己或己方接位）
組成From Anglo-Norman ouster, oustier, from Old French oster (modern French ôter, "to take away"), from later Latin obstare "to remove," and classical Latin obstāre "to stand in the way." It is not related to the English word out, even though the meaning feels close.
