expellunt

Expellunt is the third-person plural present indicative active form of the Latin verb expellere, meaning to drive out or expel. In classical Latin it is used to describe the removal or banishment of people, groups, or things from a place, territory, or community.

Etymology and conjugation: Expellere comes from ex- "out" plus pellere "to drive." It belongs to the third conjugation; its present active paradigm includes expellō, expellis, expellit, expellimus, expellitis, expellunt. The form expellunt specifically means "they expel." The related passive form is expelluntur.

Usage: Expellunt appears in sentences where a subject causes removal. Example: Milites expellunt hostes. The verb can be used literally (driving enemies from a city) or figuratively (expellere metus, to drive out fear). It is common in military, political, and legal Latin texts, where banishment or removal from a place or group is described.

Notes: Like other Latin verbs, expellere takes a direct object in the accusative and may require prepositions to express origin or source (for example ex or ab with ablative to indicate from where something is expelled). Expellunt represents a present-tense form; other tenses share the same stem with regular endings according to the third conjugation.
