allontanato

Allontanato is the past participle of the Italian verb allontanare, meaning to move away, distance, or remove someone or something from a place or situation. As an adjective, it denotes that someone or something has been kept away or separated, often temporarily or under an imposed measure. It agrees in gender and number (allontanato, allontanata, allontanati, allontanate). The related noun allontanamento refers to the act of distancing, the state of being kept away, or a formal measure imposing removal or exclusion.

Usage and contexts: In legal, administrative, or organizational language, allontanato describes a person barred from a location or activity—for example, a worker suspended from duty or a student temporarily removed from a classroom. The expression allontanamento is used for the act or result of distancing, for example “misure di allontanamento” (removal measures) or “allontanamento temporaneo.” In everyday speech, allontanato can also describe someone who has been kept at a distance in a social sense.

Examples: “Il dipendente è stato allontanato dall’azienda in attesa di chiarimenti.” “L’alunno è stato allontanato dalla classe per motivi disciplinari.”
