Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin deportatio, stemming from deportare meaning 'to carry away' or 'banish', combining de- (away) and portare (to carry). Entering Middle English via Old French in the late 15th century, the term originally denoted banishment or exile of criminals before evolving into its modern legal sense of expelling a foreign national.
