Emigrate to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere. Migrate," "emigrate," and "immigrate" are all about being on the move. All those terms come from the Latin word "migrare," which means "to migrate." "Emigrate" and "immigrate" sound alike, and it is true that both involve leaving one location and entering another. The subtle difference between them lies in point of view: "emigrate" stresses leaving the original place, while "immigrate" focuses on entering the new one

emigrate means to leave your own country for another; immigrate means to come into a country. For example, some of my relatives emigrated from England in the 1630's and became immigrants to the US.
