expatriate
의미: A person who lives outside their native country, typically for work or lifestyle reasons; as a verb, to send someone to live abroad or to leave one's own country to live elsewhere.
The word is commonly shortened to 'expat' in casual usage. There is an ongoing debate about why wealthier Western people living abroad are called 'expats' whilst others in similar situations are called 'immigrants' — the distinction often reveals underlying class and racial biases. British expatriate communities exist worldwide, particularly in Spain, France, and the UAE. The adjective 'expatriate' can describe communities, lifestyles, or experiences abroad.
