Definitions

  1. a person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country

Word origin

From Middle English forner, foreyner, foroner, forenere, augmentation of earlier forein (“foreigner”), from the adjective. Equivalent to foreign + -er. Use of the -er suffix may be due to analogy with Middle English straunger (“stranger”). Displaced native Old English elþēodiġ.

Used in a sentence
