Disseat

/dɪsˈsit/ verb

Definition

To unseat or dislodge someone from a seat or position; to remove someone from office or authority.

Etymology

From dis- (remove) + seat. This direct formation parallels 'unseat' but uses the dis- prefix instead of un-.

Kelly Says

Disseat is a more formal or archaic way to say 'unseat'—it's the verb you'd find in older political texts describing the removal of officials. It has a slightly more forceful tone than simply 'unseating.'
