Etymology
1. 1586 "to banish, send into exile" (implied in
relegation), from L.

legare "send with a commission" (see legate). Meaning "place in a position of inferiority" is recorded from 1790.
2. First attested in 1561, borrowed from Latin relēgātus, the past participle of relēgō (“to dispatch, banish”).
