A legal term meaning the removal of someone from office or a position of authority.
From Latin amotio, combining a- (away) and motio (motion, removal). It's a rare legal term that means literally 'moving away' from a position.
While 'removal' is common, 'amotion' is lawyer-speak from centuries ago—you might see it in old legal documents describing when someone was booted out of office.
