(law) The act of banishing or turning out of doors: ejection: the act of expelling or throwing off: the act of discharging or excreting by the pores: the act of setting aside as unimportant or unworthy of consideration, or as being superfluous or irrelevant: " (Elimination) is frequently used in the sense of eliciting, but incorrectly," says Fleming.

Hamilton. (Alg.) the process of reducing a number of equations containing certain quantities to a smaller number, in which one or more of the quantities shall not be found.
