This is the noun version of the verb "to expropriate." The word means to take away someone's possession, such as a home or a building. It conveys a meaning of the government or some other powerful entity grabbing up your property, whether you want them to do so or not. For example: The king's army drove the peasants from their land and the king then expropriated it.
While this sounds horrible, sometimes expropriation can actually have a positive intention: often, when new highways need to be built, there are old houses or buildings in the way, and the government will expropriate the land so that the highway can be built. In such cases, owners of the properties are generally compensated for their home (although in fairness, some home-owners do not believe they received fair compensation for the aggravation of having to move).
