Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 趕走, which is a much more general and informal way to say 'to chase away' or 'to shoo away'. Use 逐出 when the removal is from a specific, defined location or institution, whereas 趕走 is used for general situations where you just want someone to leave your presence.
