What is another word for outcast?
Pronunciation: [ˈa͡ʊtkast] (IPA) 
Outcast is an emotional and heavy term that describes someone who has been rejected or shunned by society. Other similar words to describe such a person include pariah, leper, exile, and ostracized. These words carry the same negative connotation and express the severity of the individual's social isolation. Other alternatives include loner, misfit, and outsider, which while still describing someone who is not accepted by their peers, are not as harsh in tone. In contrast, words like rebel, iconoclast, or nonconformist imply that the individual has chosen to separate themselves from the mainstream, instead of being rejected by it.
