公元1300年左右, ferren, foran, foreyne,在指涉地点时表示“在国家边界之外”; 在指涉人时表示“出生在另一个国家”,源自古法语 forain,意为“陌生的,外国的; 外部的,户外的; 偏远的,偏僻的”(12世纪),源自中世纪拉丁语 foraneus,意为“在外部,外部的”,源自拉丁语 foris(副词)“在外部”,字面意思是“在户外”,与 foris “门”有关(源自 PIE *dhwor-ans-,是词根 *dhwer- “门,门道”的带后缀形式)。
17世纪英语拼写发生了变化,可能受到 reign, sovereign 的影响。14世纪末出现了“与本性不相关的,无关的,外来的”之意。指“与另一个国家有关的”(如 foreign policy)的意义可追溯至17世纪。取代了本土的 fremd。相关词汇: Foreignness。古英语中有 ælþeodig, ælþeodisc,“外国的”,是 æl- “外国的”和 þeod “人们”的复合词。
外来的,异质的:免疫学,指不被认为是“自身”,且能引起免疫反应的物质
