Emigrants

/ˈɛməɡɹənts/ noun

Definition

People who leave their home country to live permanently in another country.

Etymology

From Latin 'emigrare,' where 'e-' means 'out' and 'migrare' means 'to move.' The '-ant' suffix indicates someone who does the action.

Kelly Says

Here's a neat linguistic trick: emigrant and immigrant describe the same person, but from different perspectives—it's all about which country you're looking from!
