the.com/exclave

a piece of your country that wandered off and now lives surrounded by someone else's.

means a territory that legally belongs to one country but is geographically cut off from it by another country's land.

from from latin ex- (out of) plus clave, mirroring enclave; coined because geographers needed a word for territory that is someone else's enclave from the other side of the border.
