'dislodge' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'deslogier,' where 'des-' meant 'away' and 'logier' meant 'to lodge.'

'deslogier' transformed into the Middle English word 'dislogen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'dislodge'.

Initially, it meant 'to remove from a lodging place,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to remove or force out from a position or place.'
