Which word means to banish or expel someone from a community?

Banish

The idea tested is recognizing a word that means expelling someone from a community. Banish directly means to expel or exile someone, removing them from a place or group. So it fits the definition perfectly, as in “The town banished the troublemaker.” The other options don’t fit: precedent is about a prior example used to guide current decisions; empathetic describes someone who understands others’ feelings; martial relates to war or military matters.
