evicting
追い出す
解説 Definition
法的手続きによって借家人などを住居から強制的に立ち退かせること。
Evicting means forcing someone to leave a property, especially a home or apartment, by legal process. It is commonly used in housing and landlord-tenant situations. The word usually suggests an official or formal action, not simply asking someone to go away.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
evicting は、まず eviction（立ち退き）とセットで覚えると定着しやすい語です。e-/ex- は「外へ」の感覚を持つことが多く、「中にいる人を外へ出す」方向が見えます。日常の単なる kick out より、家主が借家人を法的に退去させるような硬い場面で使うのがポイント。tenant, landlord, court, notice などと結び付けると記憶に残りやすく、deport や expel と違って「住居からの立ち退き」に寄りやすいと押さえると混同しにくいです。
Learn it together with `eviction`, which is the noun form. The `e-/ex-` idea of `out` can help you picture someone being forced out of a place. It is more formal than `kick out` and is strongly linked with housing words like `tenant`, `landlord`, and `notice`.

evicting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
evicting はラテン語 e-「外へ」と vincere「打ち勝つ」からできた evict に由来します。convict や victory と同じ語根 vic/vict をもち、「打ち勝って外へ出す」という像を思い浮かべると、立ち退かせる意味が自然に理解できます。
Evicting comes from evict, which goes back to Latin evincere, made from e- "out" and vincere "to conquer." It is related to victory and convict, which share the same root. The original idea was defeating someone and forcing them out, which became the legal sense of making someone leave a place.
