It comes from Spanish extra 'outside' and comunitario 'relating to the community', used to mark a person from countries outside the European Union.
Usage tips
- The term is mainly administrative and often sounds impersonal, so speakers commonly give a nationality or say 'persona de fuera de la UE' in casual conversation.
