How to say "outsider" in Japanese

• アウトサイダーCommon
  nounThe loanword covers the general sense of someone who does not belong to a group, circle, or establishment, often with a nuance of standing on society's margins; use it for social or cultural outsiders.
• 門外漢もんがいかんCommon
  nounThis covers an outsider to a specialist field: a layman or amateur with no expert knowledge. When English 'outsider' means someone unversed in a discipline or profession, this is the natural choice.
