This is a discussion about 駆逐

Meaning of 駆逐 kuchiku (suru)

Hi,

I found out that the entry for the verb 駆逐 has wrong English meaning;
According to other dictionaries it means: To drive away; To chase off

I used to do a bit of contribution to Jisho in various forms, so I thought maybe this could help.

To be fair, it does have "expulsion", which covers the "driving away/chasing off" meaning, though with different wording, since it's a noun form.

Also, I'm guessing you're aware if you've contributed before, but I figured I'd just mention it for anyone who sees the thread. The FAQ details how to submit changes/corrections to the various databases Jisho uses, since Jisho doesn't directly control the entries.
