The first word, "sent", is spelled /sɛnt/, with the "s" pronounced as "suh", the "e" as in "wen", the "n" as in "den", and the "t" as in "hat".

The term "sent away" refers to the act of directing someone or something to leave or be removed from a particular place, often due to a command, request, or decision made by someone in authority. It implies that the person or object in question is being dismissed or dispatched to another location or situation.
In the context of human beings, it typically relates to individuals being instructed or compelled to leave a certain place, such as a house, institution, or organization. This can occur for various reasons, including disciplinary actions, termination of employment, expulsion, or relocation. When someone is "sent away," it suggests that they are no longer wanted or welcome in the current environment.
The phrase can also extend to objects or items being sent away, usually involving their transportation or removal to a different location. This can involve parcels, packages, letters, or other belongings being directed to a particular destination or forwarded to another person or entity. "Sent away" can imply that the item is being sent for delivery, return, or disposal.
Additionally, "sent away" can carry a figurative meaning, referring to emotions or desires being suppressed or dismissed. For instance, if someone "sends away" their worries or fears, it means that they consciously choose to ignore or disregard those concerns, often in an attempt to maintain composure or remain focused on a particular task or goal.
The phrase "sent away" consists of two words: "sent" and "away".
The word "sent" is the past participle form of the verb "send", which can be traced back to the Old English word "sendan". It has Germanic origins and shares its roots with German "senden" and Dutch "zenden". In turn, these stem from the Proto-Germanic word "sandijaną".
The word "away" is an adverb that originated from the Old English phrase "on weg", where "on" means "in" or "on" and "weg" means "road" or "way". Over time, "on weg" evolved into "on wegge" and eventually into "away" in Middle English.
The combination of "sent" and "away" indicates the act of sending someone or something off or dispatching them to a different location.
