"settler" means: That which settles or finishes, such as a blow that decides a contest.. This is informal slang, common in casual speech, texting and social media, but not appropriate for school work, applications or professional settings.

"settler" means: That which settles or finishes, such as a blow that decides a contest.. Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

“Israel is a apartheid state, not a democracy. It's a colonial settler project. Committed to ethnic cleansing. It's not a safe haven for the Jewish people. I'm Jewish and I don't feel safe because of Israel. I don't support Zionist Israel.”
