Definition
A person who has left their native country to live elsewhere; an emigrant (variant spelling of emigré).
Etymology
French spelling variant of 'emigre,' from French 'émigré,' ultimately from Latin 'emigrare.' This spelling became prominent during the French Revolution when nobles fled France.
Kelly Says
The French spelling 'emigr' (without the accent) became iconic during the French Revolution—aristocrats fleeing the guillotine were called 'émigrés,' and the word gained romantic, tragic associations with political exile and loss of homeland.
