Exodus
Exodus generally refers to a mass departure or the act of a large group of people leaving a particular place, typically their homeland or a difficult or oppressive situation. It often involves a significant journey or migration to seek better opportunities, freedom, or safety. The term "exodus" has historical and biblical connotations, often associated with the departure of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus in the Bible. However, it can also be used more broadly to describe any large-scale movement of people.
