2) in absentia (adverb)

3) purge (verb)

- High-ranking officials were purged from the company following the merger.

4) catharsis (noun)
: the act or process of releasing a strong emotion (such as pity or fear) especially expressing it in art form
- Acting is a means of catharsis for her.

5) meager (adjective)
