Abstract
We use Gaia EDR3 astrometry to propose that a dynamical interaction between the multiple system Ori C and Ori F ejected the latter as a walkaway star ~1100 years ago (without deceleration) or somewhat later (with a more likely deceleration included). It is unclear whether the final 3-D velocity of Ori F will be large enough to escape the Orion nebula cluster.
