Antonyms for the word "re-patriation" can be "exile", "banishment", "expulsion", "dislocation", "migration", "displacement", "immigration", or "emigration". While re-patriation means returning or restoring a person to their home country, the antonyms suggest moving away from it or being forced out. Exile and banishment imply a punitive expulsion, while immigration and emigration refer to voluntary movement, and dislocation and displacement may suggest displacement from one's original residence due to conflict or environmental factors. Thus, while re-patriation implies a positive change from abroad to home, the antonyms suggest a negative change or forced motion from home to elsewhere.
