exile

An exile is someone who has been forced or chosen to leave their home and country.

When we talk about exiles, we usually mean people who have been forced to leave their homes because of war, persecution, or some other difficult situation. We might hear about refugees from a war-torn country being exiled and trying to find safety in another land. The word exile can also be used more broadly to describe anyone who has left their home for a long time, even if it's not by force - like an artist who leaves their hometown to pursue a career elsewhere or a person who moves away from family and friends for work.
