vocabulary简明 A settler is a person who moves to a new place with the intention to stay there. Colonial America was built by settlers who came mainly from England.
vocabulary扩展 Settlers often think of themselves as being the first people to live in an area, although through history settlers moved to places already inhabited by native people. A settler's primary goal is to set up a home — claim land, build houses, and establish new towns with other settlers. The noun settler originally meant "thing that settles," though by the 1690s it was used to mean "person moving to a new country," from the Old English word setlan, "cause to place."
