Etymology

The term 'expellee' originates from the verb 'expel,' which is derived from the Latin 'expellere,' meaning 'to drive out or expel.' This Latin word is composed of 'ex-' meaning 'out' and 'pellere' meaning 'to drive.' The use of the word in its current form, particularly in the context of individuals or groups forced to leave their homes or countries, became more prominent after events such as World War II and the subsequent rise in refugee crises. The emotional weight of the term reflects the personal and societal traumas faced by those who are forced to leave their lives behind, often leading to long-lasting implications for both the expellees and the communities to which they migrate.
