expulsan

Expulsan is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb expulsar in the present indicative. The verb means to force someone or something to leave a place, organization, or country; to eject, banish, or deport. The root expuls- comes from Latin expulsus, via expulsare, and expulsar is a regular -ar verb in its conjugation. Expulsan is used when the subject is plural, as in “they expel.”

Common uses span a range of contexts. In education or organizations, expulsar can mean removing a person from a school or institution. In immigration and law, it can refer to deportation or expulsion from a country. In sports, it describes the act of removing a player from a game. In technical language, expulsar can also mean to eject air, gas, or a substance from a device. The noun expulsión denotes the act or result of expelling, while expulsado or expulsada describes the expelled person.

In discourse, expulsan is a neutral, descriptive verb, though the implications and tone depend on context. Related terms include expulsión (the act), and expulsado/expulsada (the expelled person); expulsor is a less common term sometimes used in mechanical contexts to denote a device that expels something. Overall, expulsan is a standard present-tense form used to describe ongoing expulsions in various domains of Spanish.
