dislodgement
Knocking something loose
Dislodgement is the act of forcing something from its fixed position or established place.
A surgeon might describe the dislodgement of a blood clot; a military report might detail the dislodgement of enemy forces from a stronghold.
The word carries a sense of effort against resistance—things that get dislodged were meant to stay put.
Also spelled dislodgment.
