A quick definition of displacement:

Displacement: When something or someone is moved from its proper place or position, it is called displacement. This can happen when a file is moved from one folder to another or when an officer is removed from their job. Displacement can also mean replacing something or someone with another. Sometimes, people are forced to leave their homes or countries because of war, and this is called displacement of refugees. Lastly, displacement can also refer to shifting our focus or emotions from one thing to another, especially when we want to avoid unpleasant thoughts or feelings.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Displacement means moving something or someone from its proper place or position. It can also mean replacing something or someone with another. Displacement can also refer to the forced removal of a person from their home or country, especially because of war. Lastly, displacement can refer to shifting emotional focus from one thing to another, often to avoid unpleasant or unacceptable thoughts or tendencies.

  • When I cleaned my desk, I experienced displacement of my files because I moved them from their proper place.
  • After the lawyer got sick, there was a displacement of the lawyer with another lawyer.
  • During the war, there was a displacement of refugees from their homes and countries.

The third example illustrates the third definition of displacement, which is the forced removal of a person from their home or country. The fourth example illustrates the fourth definition of displacement, which is shifting emotional focus from one thing to another.
