ostracize,
In modern parlance, to ostracize means to exclude someone from society or from a community, by not communicating with or even noticing them, similar to shunning. In a historical context, the term refers to ostracism, which was a legal process during the Athenian democratic period in the Ancient Greek city-state of Athens. Under this procedure, a single citizen was exiled for a ten-year period without other loss of rights.
