displaced

/dɪsˈpɫeɪst/ verb

simple past and past participle of displace

Word Origin Dis- 'apart' + place — literally 'put out of its place.' The place part comes from Latin platea 'broad street' (from Greek platys 'flat'), so originally a place was an open space. Displaced means something has been moved from its proper spot. The same root gives us replace (put back), misplace (put wrong), and even fireplace (the flat hearth).
