repatriate
Significado: To send or bring someone back to their own country, or to transfer money or assets back to one's home country.
Repatriate has both a human and a financial sense. In immigration and military contexts, it means returning people to their country of origin — 'repatriated prisoners of war,' 'repatriate refugees,' and 'voluntary repatriation' are standard collocations. In finance and business, it refers to transferring profits, investments, or assets back to the parent company's home country. The noun 'repatriation' is equally common in both senses.
