exile etymology

Etymology:

• Latin: exsilium ("exile, banishment")
• Proto-Indo-European: *eks-(s)il- ("out, away")

Meaning:

• The act of banishing or being banished from one's home or native country.
• A person who has been forced to leave their homeland involuntarily, typically due to political or religious reasons.

Origin:

• The English word "exile" entered the language in the 14th century, borrowed from the Old French word "exil," which in turn derived from the Latin exsilium.
• The Latin word exsilium is believed to be from the Proto-Indo-European root *eks-(s)il-, which also appears in the English words "expel," "exclude," and "isolated."
• This root expresses the concept of being "out" or "away" from something, suggesting the forced removal or separation associated with exile.
