expellee
One thrust out
An expellee is a person who has been expelled or forced to leave a place, typically a country or territory.
The term appears most often in historical and political contexts, particularly regarding mass deportations or ethnic cleansing.
Millions of German expellees fled Eastern Europe after World War II.
Unlike refugee, which emphasizes seeking safety, expellee emphasizes the act of being driven out by an authority or force.
