N: 1. From verb expatriate. 1768, modeled on French expatrier “banish” (14c.), from ex- “out of” + patrie “native land,” from Latin patria “one’s native country,” from pater (genitive patris) “father”; also compare patriot). Related: Expatriated; expatriating. The noun is by 1818, “one who has been banished;” main modern sense of “one who chooses to live abroad” is by 1902.
2. (A person) driven from his native land; exiled.
3. Terminology used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
4. A person who has citizenship in at least one country, but who is living in another country. Most expatriates only stay in the foreign country for a certain period of time, and plan to return to their home country eventually, although there are some who never return to their country of citizenship.
