Definición

A settler is a person who moves to live in a new area, especially someone who goes to an undeveloped or foreign land to live there permanently.

Uso & Matices

Mainly refers to people who moved to new territories, often used in historical or colonial contexts (e.g., "early American settlers"). Can also apply today in specific contexts, but less common. Do not confuse with 'native inhabitant'—a settler is someone who arrives, not originally from the place.
