词源：
relegate (v.)1590s “to banish (someone), send to an obscure or remote place, send away or out of the way,” from Latin relegatus, past participle of relegare “remove, dismiss, banish, send away, schedule, put aside,” from re- “back” (see re-) + legare “send as a deputy, send with a commission, charge, bequeath,” which is possibly literally “engage by contract” and related to lex (genitive legis) “contract, law” (from PIE root *leg- (1) “to collect, gather”).
All senses are from a specific meaning in Roman law: “send into exile, cause to move a certain distance from Rome for a certain period.” The meaning “place (someone) in a position of inferiority” is recorded from 1790. Of subjects, things, etc., “assign to some specific category, domain, etc.,” by 1866. Related: Relegated; relegating; relegable.
[
Relegatio] allowed the expulsion of a citizen from Rome by magisterial decree. All examples of relegation were accomplished by magistrates with
imperium, and lesser magistrates probably did not possess this power. Any number of individuals could be relegated under a single decree, and they even could be directed to relocate to a specific area. This act was generally used to remove undesirable foreigners from Rome, as when Greek philosophers were expelled from Rome in 161 and two Epicureans, Philiscus and Alcaeus, were banished seven years later.

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
relegate (v.)1590年代“驱逐（某人），发送到一个不起眼或偏远的地方，送走或让开”，来自拉丁语relegatus，relegare的过去分词“删除，解雇，驱逐，送走，安排，放在一边，”来自 re-“back”（参见 re-）+legare“作为代理人发送，带着佣金发送，负责，遗赠”，这可能字面意思是“通过合同参与”并且与 lex（属格立法）相关“合同，法律”（来自 PIE 根*leg- (1)“收集，聚集”）。所有的含义都来自罗马法中的特定含义：“流放，导致在一定时期内离开罗马一定距离”。含义“将（某人）置于劣势”的记录自 1790 年开始。对于主体、事物等，到 1866 年“分配到某个特定类别、领域等”。降级；可降格的。 [Relegatio] 允许通过行政法令将公民驱逐出罗马。凡是贬谪的事例，都是由拥有王权的县令完成的，级别较低的县令恐怕不具备这种权力。任何数量的人都可以根据一项法令被降级，甚至可以被指示搬迁到特定地区。这一法案通常被用来将不受欢迎的外国人驱逐出罗马，例如 161 年希腊哲学家被驱逐出罗马，七年后两名伊壁鸠鲁派菲利斯库斯和阿尔凯乌斯被驱逐。 [Gordan P. Kelly，“罗马共和国流亡史”，剑桥：2006 年] 相关条目及更多
