ALIEN
What alien means
A person who is not a citizen of the country where they live, or in science fiction, a creature from another planet.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *alienus*, meaning "belonging to another" or "foreign," derived from *alius*, meaning "other." The word entered Old French as *alien* and then Middle English, where it originally meant a foreign-born resident. Over time it came to mean anyone or anything strange, unfamiliar, or from outside a group, and eventually extended to hypothetical beings from other worlds.
