Best Answer

To expel from or relegate to a country or place by authoritative decree; condemn to exile.
To banish a person is to forbid that person from being in the particular region (typically a country) from which he has been banished; the word exile can be used synonymously. In short, to banish someone is to say "we don't want you here".
