Morphology
expatriate = ex + patri + ate
The components signal 'out of the homeland' which aligns with leaving to live abroad, but patri- is a non-standalone combining form and the voluntary vs. involuntary distinction is not encoded morphologically.
Etymology
Expatriate comes from Latin parts ex- ('out of') and patria ('country'), so to expatriate can also mean to go 'out of' your country to live in another place.
