word

dis-PLAYS

释义

To force someone or something to move from its usual place; or to take the place of something else.

用法与细微差别

Usually formal or technical. Common with people (due to war, disaster: 'displaced persons') and with objects/technologies (one thing replaces another). Don't confuse with 'replace'—'displace' implies force or removal, 'replace' is just substitution.
