expulsent

Expulsent is the third-person plural present indicative form of the French verb expulser, meaning "they expel" or "they deport." It is used with subjects such as ils or elles and appears in everyday, formal, and official writing to describe the act of expelling or removing someone or something.

Etymology and development: Expulser comes from Old French expulsier, which itself traces to Latin ex- (out) plus pellere (to push). The form expulsent follows the standard endings for -er verbs in the present tense for ils/elles, with the root expuls- plus the verb ending -ent.

Usage and context: Expulsent is a common grammatical form in sentences describing actions carried out by multiple agents. It can appear in legal, administrative, news, and narrative texts. Because expulsent is a finite verb form tied to a plural subject, its meaning depends on the noun it governs, e.g., authorities, groups, or individuals acting in concert to remove or banish someone or something.

Related forms: The infinitive is expulser; the past participle is expulsé; related nouns include expulsion and expulsif (an adjective). The verb shares its core meaning with related verbs in the same family that convey removal or banishment.

See also: expulser, expulsé, expulsion, expulsif. Note that expulsent is a morphological form rather than a standalone lexical entry, and its interpretation relies on the broader sentence and context.
