Where this word comes from

From ont- (“un-, de-”) + heem (“home”). Coined in 1944 as a translation of English displaced person. While it resembles a participle morphologically, it does not derive from the verb onthemen, which has in fact seen some (rare) usage but is itself a back-formation from this adjective.
