overthrown
This term describes the forceful removal of a leader or government from power, typically through a coup or revolution. It carries a strong connotation of instability and sudden, violent transition, distinguishing it from a legal resignation or a democratic transition of power.
Grammatically, this word functions primarily as the past participle of the verb "overthrow." When used as an adjective, it describes a state of being deposed. Because it is a participle, it does not have its own independent plural or tense forms; those are handled by the base verb "overthrow."
