Explanation: This word refers to someone who lives in a place but is not a native citizen or permanent resident; a temporary resident, a sojourner, or a foreigner. It is a compound word formed from 'παρά' (para), meaning 'beside' or 'alongside', and 'οἶκος' (oikos), meaning 'house' or 'dwelling'. Thus, it literally means 'dwelling alongside' or 'one who dwells beside'. It can be used as both a noun (a sojourner) and an adjective (foreign, alien).
