A person who belongs to or is a member of a particular group, community, organization, or place.
From Middle English 'belongen,' combining 'be-' (thoroughly) and 'langen' (to go, pertain), meaning to be properly a member or rightfully connected to something.
The concept of 'belonger' has become crucial in citizenship law—some countries distinguish between citizens by birth and 'belongers' by residence, creating interesting legal categories.
