A person who emigrates; one who leaves their native country to settle permanently in another place.
Formed from 'emigrate' by adding the '-or' suffix (one who performs an action). This word is slightly less common than 'emigrant' but carries the same meaning.
English has multiple ways to name the same person—'emigrant,' 'emigrator,' 'emigré'—and choosing between them signals different shades of meaning and formality, a richness that makes the language flexible for different contexts and emotions.
