Conversation

Have you met the new relocatee in our neighborhood yet?

Not yet, but I heard they came from a completely different state.

Yeah, I wonder how they're adjusting to the change as a relocatee.

I hope they find it welcoming; moving can be really tough.

Root Explanation

Relocatee → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "locare" (meaning to place). The suffix "-ee" indicates a person who is the recipient of an action. Thus, a relocatee is a person who is placed again, or moved to a new location.

Memory Tip

Think of someone being 'placed again' ('re-' means again and 'locare' means to place) — that's why a relocatee is someone who has been moved to a new place.
