| Mar 13, 2022 at 22:06 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Might that be because there is no appropriate or succinct way of describing such action? "… occupying a building to exclusion, (as a protest)…" involves what, usefully? You could not say 'he besieges himself'. Despite the grammar, 'takes-over' and 'occupies' don't come close, nor begin to explain that everyone else, including the authorities, is locked out. If your usual sources have failed you, why not rephrase the Question | |

| Mar 11, 2022 at 22:15 | comment | added | Mazura | If they're secure in their occupation legally (as opposed to via the threat of force) that's tree hugging. | |

| Mar 11, 2022 at 11:52 | comment | added | echo3 | Yes, that is a good point. It is not really the antonym, I will have a think about how to better phrase the question title - if an editor does not beat me to it! Thanks. | |
| Mar 11, 2022 at 11:34 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | I don't believe what you're asking for is an antonym: the antonym of beseige is relieve. Perhaps there's a question to ask about what sort of "opposite" this is. | |
