An ouster is the event of someone being pushed out of power, a job, or a competition. News reports use it a lot: "the ouster of the prime minister," "calls for his ouster." It names the removal itself, not the person. In everyday talk, people are more likely to say "they kicked him out" or "he was forced to step down." "Ouster" sounds like newspaper English — a little stiff, a little legal. You will also meet it in sports writing when a player or team is knocked out of a contest, though the power-and-politics use is the main one.
下台、被趕下台(新聞用語,指「被從權位或賽事中移除」這件事,不是指那個人)
組成From Old French ouster, oustre, a noun built from the Anglo-Norman verb oustre, "to oust." Same story as the verb oust.
