Morphology
The meaning 'to force someone or something to leave' follows directly from combining 'cast' (to throw/send) with 'out' (away), so a learner who knows both words can compose the intended sense of expulsion. Although somewhat formal or biblical in register, the compositional logic is transparent and mirrors common 'verb + out' patterns found across languages.
Etymology
Cast out comes from the old sense of cast ('to throw') plus out (away), so imagine someone being thrown out of a house or village. That's why it now means 'to force someone or something to leave a place or group'.
