A denizen is a resident with rights intermediate between those of a citizen and those of a resident alien; in particular:

* by denization, an obsolete process in English Common Law, dating from the 13th century, by which a foreigner gained some privileges of a British subject, including the right to hold English land, through letters patent

* a "free Negro" in the United States before the abolition of slavery

I guess it's all good....
