dislodgement

/dɪˈsɫɑdʒmənt/ noun

The state or process of being dislodged

Word Origin From Old French loge 'shelter, hut' — the idea of being snugly settled in. Dislodge literally means 'to drive out of one's lodge,' and dislodgement is that act of being forced from a secure spot. The same root gives us lodge, lodger, and even the word loggia in architecture. The dis- prefix, meaning 'apart, away,' also appears in displace and dismount.
