dislodge
Knock from place
To dislodge is to force something from a fixed position—physically knocking it loose or displacing it from where it was settled: The impact dislodged a tooth, We couldn't dislodge the cork.
The word extends to removing people or things from established positions: rebel forces dislodged from the hills, Nothing could dislodge the idea from his mind.
