Outcast (person)
An outcast is someone who is rejected or cast out, as from home or from society or in some way excluded, looked down upon, or ignored. In common English speech, an outcast may be anyone who does not fit in with normal society, which can contribute to a sense of isolation. Compare the concept of sending to Coventry.

If an individual's name was written a sufficient number of times, he was ostracized—banished from the city for ten years. In early modern German society, executioners and their families were considered " dishonourable people" (''unehrliche Leute''). In France, executioners and their families were ostracized and lived in social isolation. India Outcasts, in the caste system in India, are individuals or a group that for some reason wer ...
