An incomer is someone who has come to live in a place, especially a village or small town, and is still seen as not quite “from here.” It is mainly British. Locals may say incomers the way a small town talks about people who moved in from outside. It can be neutral (a new resident) or a little cool, depending on the speaker — as if the person does not yet belong. It is not only for people from another country; someone from the next county can be an incomer. Though actually, it is not a common classroom word. books prefer newcomer or immigrant. Incomer keeps that small-community flavour: you came in, and we noticed.
外來者、遷入的人(多半是英國用法,尤指搬進村子、還被當成「外地人」的人。不是只能指外國移民;也不要用台灣政策用語「新住民」,那另有所指。)
