Word a Week | Week 20

Welcome to thetwentieth installment of Word a Week. You can find the other Word a Week words here.

This week’s word is:

proletarian– (adjective) 1. pertaining or belonging to the proletariat. 2. (in ancient Rome) belonging to the lowest or poorest class of the people.

(noun) 3. a member of the proletariat.

This word reminds me of 1984, but that’s not where I got it from. It actually came, as several of my WaW words have, from Middlesex.

I look forward to the pieces this vocabulary word spawn...
