Definition
The act or process of exile; banishment from a country or home.
Etymology
A rare English formation from exile, with the suffix -ition (as in position, exposition). This creates a more formal noun for the action of exiling, following Latin patterns.
Kelly Says
This word is practically extinct in modern English, but it reveals how English once had multiple formal terms for banishment — 'exilement,' 'exilition,' 'exile' — each with slightly different registers.
