Outcast

/ˈaʊtkæst/ noun

Definition

A person rejected or excluded by society or a social group; someone who doesn't belong.

Etymology

From 'out' and 'cast' (thrown). Originally meaning literally cast out or banished. Used in English since the 1500s, often in religious contexts where excommunication literally cast someone out of the community.

Kelly Says

Throughout history, many scientific breakthroughs came from outcasts—Giordano Bruno, Galileo, and Darwin were all rejected or persecuted for their ideas, yet their outsider status freed them to think differently than accepted society allowed.
