sent away
Told to leave
Sent away describes dismissing someone from a place or sending them elsewhere.
A child might be sent away to boarding school, or an employee sent away on business.
To be sent away can also mean being dismissed or rejected: She sent him away without an explanation.
The phrase often carries emotional weight—separation, banishment, or dispatch to somewhere distant.
