Rejected
Answer:
CASTASIDE
Hint:
Think of a phrase meaning discarded like an old item, often used when something is no longer needed or wanted.
Explanation:
"Rejected" hints at something being discarded or set aside, which directly points to "cast aside" as a phrase meaning to reject or abandon. The answer is written as one word, "CASTASIDE," blending the verb "cast" (to throw) and "aside" (to the side) into a single term. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay—just a literal interpretation of the clue’s meaning.
