to send someone away in exile
To order someone to leave a place or country, usually as a punishment, and not allow them to come back.
用法パターン：
to banish [someone] from [a place]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "banish" with "ban." "Banish" usually involves sending a person away from a place, often permanently, while "ban" means to officially not allow an activity, object, or sometimes a person. Also, do not confuse "banish" with "vanish"; "vanish" means to disappear by itself, not to be forced out.
類義語
exile (Focuses on being forced to live away from one's home country, often long-term or permanently.)
|
expel (More general; can be used for schools, clubs, or places, not only countries, and sounds slightly less formal than "banish".)
|
deport (Used mainly for sending non-citizens out of a country for legal reasons; more technical and legalistic.)
対義語
welcome (Suggests warmly allowing someone to enter or stay, the opposite of forcing them to leave.)
|
repatriate (Means sending someone back to their own country, often after being away, the reverse direction of banishment.)

to get rid of a feeling or thought
To make a bad feeling, thought, or problem go away so it does not bother you anymore.
用法パターン：
to banish [unwanted feeling/thought/problem]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "banish" only for people and places. In modern English, it is very common to use "banish" for thoughts, feelings, and problems (e.g., "banish fear"), not just for people. Also, avoid saying "banish about"; we say "banish fear" or "banish fear from your mind," not "banish about fear."
類義語
eliminate (A general term for completely removing something; lacks the emotional or mental focus that "banish" often has.)
|
dispel (Commonly used for fears, doubts, or rumors; suggests breaking up something until it disappears.)
|
drive away (More informal and vivid; often used for fears or worries, similar to pushing them out of your mind.)
対義語
harbor (To keep and hold onto feelings or thoughts, especially negative ones, which is the opposite of removing them.)

to remove something from use or presence
To stop something from being used or seen in a place, usually because people decide it should not be there anymore.
用法パターン：
to banish [something] from [a place/situation]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think this meaning is always legal or official, like a new law. It can be softer and used for strong goals or campaigns ("banish junk food from my diet") that are not formal laws.
類義語
eliminate (Stresses complete removal; slightly more general and less expressive than "banish.")
|
outlaw (Focuses on making something illegal rather than simply removing it from a place.)
|
ban (Emphasizes the act of officially not allowing something, while "banish" also carries a sense of pushing it out of sight or presence.)
対義語
allow (Means to let something exist or happen, which is the opposite of removing or forbidding it.)
