To move away; to remove someone from a position or place of authority.
From Latin amovere, combining a- (away, from) and movere (to move). It's an archaic or legal term preserving the Latin prefix meaning.
This word is so archaic that you'd almost never hear it in modern speech—'remove' does the same job, but 'amove' preserves the Latin meaning more directly.
