Thinkijng about how its said you are probably right as its not ex Patriot (flag waving proud of country) but said the way you spelt it..
The correct spelling is expatriate, which came as a bit of a surprise to me, as I assumed it meant someone who was no longer a patriot, since they deserted their homeland. It just means someone who had left their homeland to live in a foreign land. Incidentally, a repatriate is someone who return to his homeland after some time spent living in a foreign land.
