Morphology
expatriation = expatriate (semi-transparent) = expatriate + ation
Formally derived from 'expatriate' + '-ation', but this sense emphasizes forced removal/banishment which is a semantic nuance not fully predictable from the neutral verb.
Etymology
Expatriation comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out of' and patria 'native land'. Because it means going 'out of your country', expatriation can also describe being forced to leave home as a punishment or as exile.
