Answer

EXILE

This word comes from the Latin 'exilium' meaning banishment. It can be used as both a noun referring to the state of being expelled from one's home or country, and as a verb meaning to banish someone. Famous historical figures who experienced this include Napoleon Bonaparte, Dante Alighieri, and many political dissidents throughout history.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can throw off even experienced players. When you have most letters figured out but something feels off, consider whether a letter might appear twice. Also, words with X are rare but worth remembering for when common letter strategies fail.
