Definition people

Etymology

From Middle English peple, peeple, from Anglo-Norman people, from Old French pueple, peuple, pople, from Latin populus (“people”), of unknown origin. Gradually ousted native English lede and, partially, folk.

Originally a singular noun (e.g. The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness –2 Samuel 17:29, King James Version), the plural aspect of people is probably due to influence from Middle English lede, leed, a plural since Old English times (compare Old English l?ode (“people, men, persons”), plural of Old English l?od (“man, person”)). See also lede, leod.
