1. to automatically debit (money from an account); to draw (a payment) from a bank account
For a bank, credit card company, or service provider to withdraw funds directly from a customer's bank account, typically as a scheduled recurring payment for utilities, rent, or credit card bills. Most commonly encountered in personal finance contexts.
家賃(やちん)を口座(こうざ)から引(ひ)き落(お)とす。
Rent is debited from the bank account.
The electricity bill is automatically debited every month.
If there isn't enough balance in the account, the debit may fail.
2. to pull down; to drag down; to knock down from above
To physically pull something down from a higher position, or to force a person down from where they were standing or sitting. Less common than sense 1 in modern everyday Japanese.
彼(かれ)は馬(うま)から相手(あいて)を引(ひ)き落(お)とした。
He pulled his opponent down off the horse.
力士(りきし)は相手(あいて)の腕(うで)をつかんで引(ひ)き落(お)とした。
The sumo wrestler grabbed his opponent's arm and pulled him down.
They succeeded in pulling the enemy soldiers down from atop the castle wall.

A compound verb from 引(ひ)く (to pull) and 落(お)とす (to drop, to let fall). The literal meaning is 'to pull (something) down,' and the financial sense is a metaphorical extension: the bank 'pulls the money out and down' from your account.

Usage

  • In sense 1 (banking), by far the most common use in daily life. Very often appears in the passive 引(ひ)き落(お)とされる, with the customer's account as subject: 口座(こうざ)から引(ひ)き落(お)とされる (to be debited from the account). The related noun 引(ひ)き落(お)とし means 'direct debit / automatic withdrawal.'
  • In sense 2 (physical), used for pulling someone or something downward — a riding opponent, a wall climber, or in sumo where it is a recognized technique name 引(ひ)き落(お)とし.

Transitivity

  • Transitive in both senses. The thing pulled down, or the money/payment, is marked with を.
  • The paired intransitive for sense 1 is not normally used; the passive form covers the from-the-account perspective.
