"be disposed of " - co ten zwrot oznacza?

Z tego, co widzę, to samo "be disposed of" oznacza, że ktoś nas się pozbył. Czyli np. "I was disposed of" - "pozbyli się mnie", "zostałem odrzucony/porzucony".

W kontekście prawniczym może to oznaczać sprzedaż/przekazanie praw.

Czyli jak to w końcu jest? Jeśli chcę napisać, że czegoś się pozbyłam, to nie wystarczy samo "disposed of"? Skoro "be disposed of" ma oznaczać, że ktoś się nas pozbył, to dlaczego w słowniku jest to tak dziwnie przetłumaczone?
