What is displacement?

Displacement are:

• - 1. The condition of being moved from a normal position
• - 2. In chemistry, a reaction in which an atom, molecule, or radical group is removed from a compound and replaced with another
• - 3. The weight of a fluid expelled by a floating body or by another fluid of greater density
• - 4. An unconscious defense mechanism in which an emotion, such as anger, is unconsciously directed to an object or person other than the direct cause of frustration; e.g., an angry individual beating the wall with his fist.
