Disbenchment

/dɪsˈbɛntʃmənt/ noun

Definition

The official removal of a person from a position of authority, especially a judge from judicial office.

Etymology

From 'disbench' plus the suffix '-ment,' which creates nouns from verbs. The '-ment' suffix indicates an action, process, or result.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ment' makes 'disbenchment' sound more official and formal than 'disbenching,' which is why legal documents might prefer this version for maximum gravity.
