voluntarily absent from home or country
expelled from home or country by authority
the act of expelling a person from their native land; "men in exile dream of hope"; "his deportation to a penal colony"; "the expatriation of wealthy farmers"; "the sentence was one of transportation for life"
expel from a country; "The poet was exiled because he signed a letter protesting the government's actions"
A person separated from his or her native land. Prolonged separation from one's country, as by force of circumstances.
To send someone out of a place; to banish. Unlike a deportee, who is forced to leave a country where he or she is not a citizen, an exile is a person who is forced to leave his or her home country. When a legal decree or banishment forces a person to leave, he or she is in involuntary exile. When circumstances cause a person to leave, he or she is in voluntary exile.
64] For a woman to dream that she is exiled, denotes that she will have to make a journey which will interfere with some engagement or pleasure. [64] See Banishment.
Exile can be a form of punishment. It means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country) while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened by prison or death upon return.
