- 1無產階級
In socialist and Marxist writing, the proletariat is the class of people who do not own the factories, land, or tools, and who live by selling their work for — especially factory workers and others who build and make things. Karl Marx set this class against the bourgeoisie, the owners. The word came into English from French; behind that is Latin for a person whose “wealth” was their children, their offspring, not property. You almost never hear it in the street. News and ordinary talk say workers or the working class. Though actually, people sometimes stretch proletariat to mean “ordinary people” in a loose, half-joking way, which is tidier and much less exact than the political sense. It names a whole class, not one person.
組成Borrowed from French prolétariat (prolétaire + -at), from Latin proletārius, from prōlēt- (offspring) + -ārius, from prōlēs (pro- + a root meaning growth). By the look of the English word: Latin prōlēt- + -ary + -at.
