pushed aside

Moved from path

Pushed aside means moved out of the way, either literally or figuratively.

You might push aside a curtain to look out a window, or push aside your doubts to take a risk.

When people are pushed aside, they're marginalized or ignored: She felt pushed aside after the new manager arrived.

The phrase often carries a sense of dismissal or neglect.
