Simplified etymology

Migrate entered English in the early 17th century from Latin migrare, “to move” or “shift.” It originally referred generally to moving from one place to another.

From Latin migrātus, past participle of migrāre 'to move from one place to another', from Proto-Indo-European *mei- 'to change, move'.
