The term carries a strong sense of surgical precision or deliberate relocation. It implies that the object being moved must remain viable and functional in its new environment, creating a tension between the trauma of the move and the hope of survival. In a social context, calling someone a transplant suggests a lingering status as an outsider. It implies that while the person has physically arrived, they are still in the process of rooting themselves into the local culture or community.

Countable when referring to a specific medical procedure or a person who moved (a transplant). Uncountable when referring to the general process of moving plants or tissues.
