has become the offically used word in education for what used to be called, rather more dramatically and with stronger physical implications, expulsion. Similarly, a school pupil is said to be excluded rather than (as formerly) expelled. But the term is no freer than its predecessor from unwelcome overtones, since exclusion order, 'an order issued under any of various Acts of Parliament excluding a person from a particular location, esp. as a means of preventing the commission of certain criminal acts' (Old English (up to 1150)D), has occupied this ground as a term in UK law since the 1940s (originally with reference to Palestine).
