Leaving so fast the chair insists you weren't ready, and it's right.
means The act of being forcibly thrown out or expelled from a place, position, or seat — not a choice, a removal.
from From Latin eicere, 'to throw out' — a combo of ex- ('out') and iacere ('to throw'), the same root that gives us 'projectile' and 'trajectory.' It entered English in the 1400s already carrying that sense of forceful expulsion, long before anyone strapped it to a fighter pilot's chair.
