Etymology

The word 'deport' originated from the Latin word 'deportare', which means 'to carry away'. The term was first used in English in the 15th century to refer to the transportation of people from one place to another. Over time, 'deport' came to specifically mean the expulsion of foreigners from a country due to legal reasons. The concept of deportation has been a controversial topic throughout history, often associated with political issues and human rights concerns.
