expulsat

Expulsat is a Catalan adjective and past participle that denotes someone or something that has been expelled or driven out from a place, group, institution, or event.

It derives from the verb expulsar, from Late Latin expulsāre, which in turn comes from the verb pellere, meaning to drive out. In Catalan, expulsar is the infinitive and expulsat is the masculine singular form of the participle; the feminine singular is expulsada, and the plural forms are expulsats (masculine) and expulsades (feminine).

In Catalan grammar expulsat agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies: expulsat, expulsada, expulsats, expulsades. It is used in formal and informal contexts, notably in legal, administrative, and educational settings. Examples include: "L'estudiant expulsat va reclamar la seva decisió" and "L'alcalde va expulsar tres persones de la reunió." More generally, it describes a person who has been forced to leave a country, institution, or event.

See also expulsar (to expel) and expulsió (the act or result of expulsion). The term is commonly contrasted with related adjectives in Romance languages, such as the Spanish expulsado and the Portuguese expulso, which share the same etymological root.
