Etymology
Supplanting comes from old parts meaning 'under' (sup-) and 'to tread' or 'step on', and it links to the English word plant in the sense of 'put down'. A helpful image is someone stepping in under another to push them out, so supplanting means taking another person's place, often by unfair or secret means.
