- 1村民、鄉民（注意：台灣網路上的「鄉民」指 PTT 網友，跟 villager 完全無關）
A villager is a person who lives in a village — a small country settlement, smaller than a town. It is a plain, countable noun: a villager, two villagers, the villagers. Where it gets interesting is who uses it. People rarely call themselves villagers in modern British or American life; you would say 'I live in a village' or 'I'm from Ashford'. The word is most common in news reports about rural places, in history writing, in folk tales, and in translated writing about Asia and Africa — 'villagers protested', 'the villagers fled the flood'. That means it can quietly place the speaker outside and above the people described, so writers now use it a little more carefully. Note the natural pair: villager/village goes with /town and city-dweller/city; there is no *towner*.
組成village + -er, the ending meaning 'a person connected with'. Village itself came from Old French, from Latin villa 'a country house or farm'.
