the.com/expat

means Someone living outside their home country, usually by choice rather than necessity.

from Short for 'expatriate,' built from Latin ex- ('out of') plus patria ('fatherland, homeland') — the same patria that gives us 'patriot.' So an expatriate is literally someone put or living outside their native land. The word has long carried a social undertone: it tends to get applied to Westerners abroad, while people from poorer countries doing the same thing are more often called 'immigrants' — a double standard that's more about class and race than Latin grammar.
