What does��emigrant mean?

An emigrant is a person who has emigrated or is emigrating—permanently leaving home in one country or region to settle in another.The act or occurrence of emigrating is called emigration.What’s the difference between emigrant, immigrant, and migrant?A migrant is a person who moves from one place to another (and perhaps back and forth). An emigrant is someone who moves away, while an immigrant is someone who moves in. For this reason, the word emigrant is often followed by from and the home country, whereas immigrant is often followed by to and the destination country.Of course, emigrant and immigrant often refer to the same person—people who are emigrating are also immigrating (if they leave, they have to go somewhere).But there are good reasons to use each word in different situations. For example, one country may be a common destination for immigrants, while another may experience the frequent departure of emigrants.The words migrant and immigrant are more likely to be used to describe such relocation in a general way (that is, a way that takes both the starting point and the destination into account), whereas emigrant is almost always used in reference to the place that has been left.Less commonly, emigrant can be used as an adjective to mean in the process of emigrating, as in emigrant peoples. Another word for an emigrant is é��������é, which especially refers to an emigrant who has fled their country due to political conditions.Example: The lack of employment has caused a significant number of emigrants  to leave the country in search of jobs.
