👉 The term "expurgative" refers to a type of punishment or treatment that is used to discourage someone from doing something they are accused of doing, often for the purpose of preventing them from harming others. This can be done through threats or other means to discourage the individual from continuing with their actions. In some cases, expurgative may also refer to a specific form of legal action in which a person is punished by having their property confiscated or otherwise removed from them.
