evacuee

/iˈvækjui/, /ɪˈvækjui/ noun

A person who has been evacuated, especially a civilian evacuated from a dangerous place in time of war

Word Origin From Latin vacare 'to be empty' — an evacuee is literally someone who has been 'emptied out' of a dangerous place. The e- prefix (from ex-) means 'out,' so evacuate is 'to make empty out.' The same root gives us vacuum (a space empty of matter), vacant (empty, unoccupied), and void (completely empty).
