An expatriate (in abbreviated form, expat) is a person temporarily or permanently
residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing or legal residence. The word comes from the
Latin ex (out of) and patria (country, fatherland), and is sometimes misspelled (either unintentionally or intentionally) as ex-
patriot or short x-pat, because of its pronunciation.
