Etymology
Supplantation comes from supplant, which once meant to 'trip up' someone by putting your foot under theirs (from Latin parts sub- 'under' and planta 'sole of the foot'). So to supplant is to push someone out of their place, and supplantation is the act of replacing one thing or person with another, often by force or by a plan.
