exclusion (countable and uncountable, plural exclusions)

1. The act of excluding or shutting out; removal from consideration or taking part. [from 17th c.]
   • 1866 [1866 May 30], The Congressional Globe‎^[1], Washington: Congressional Globe Office, →OCLC, page 2899, column 1:

     Mr. JOHNSON: But this amendment does not go far enough. I suppose the framers of the amendment thought it was necessary to provide for such an exigency. I do not see but that any one of these gentlemen may be elected President or Vice President of the United States, and why did you omit to exclude them? I do not understand them to be excluded from the privilege of holding the two highest offices in the gift of the nation. No man is to be a Senator or Representative or an elector for President or Vice President——
     Mr. MORRILL: Let me call the Senator's attention to the words "or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States."
     Mr. JOHNSON: Perhaps I am wrong as to the exclusion from the Presidency: no doubt I am; but I was misled by noticing the specific exclusion in the case of Senators and Representatives. But I submit to the Senate whether it is advisable, whether it is politic, looking to the end which we all seek to accomplish, the true restoration of the Union, a union of hearts as well as a union of hands, that you should exclude the large mass of people from participating in the honors of the Government who will be excluded by this provision.

     Two Dutch journalists entering the country were detained at JFK International Airport March 30 because they openly declared that they were homosexuals. They were subsequently released on parole pending an exclusion hearing in Manhattan April 2.

   • 2011 September 2, Phil McNulty, “Bulgaria 0-3 England”, in BBC‎^[2]:

     It was also a satisfying night for England coach Capello. Not only did he have a vital victory to celebrate, but his team selection was fully justified as Cahill gave an almost flawless performance in defence and Scott Parker's display made light of the surprising exclusion of Frank Lampard.

2. (obsolete) The act of pushing or forcing something out. [17th–19th c.]
   • 1646, Sir Thomas Browne, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, III.6:

     For the exclusion of animals is not merely passive like that of eggs, nor the total action of delivery to be imputed unto the mother, but the first attempt beginneth from the infant [...].

3. An item not covered by an insurance policy. [from 20th c.]
