Asked on March 26, 2021 in Word choice.
What is in his/her mind a low-ranking person in society
is a serf?
Or perhaps a churl. —
a. A ceorl. b. What was the medieval English peasant?
Slightly higher in the pecking order would be a villein :-
One of a class of feudal serfs who held the legal status of freemen in their dealings with all people except their lord.
The precise gradations and the names used would depend on which part of the world we are talking about, and the historical time. In modern times, the lowest of the low would probably be an chav :-
a young lower-class person typified by brash and loutish behaviour
Moving over to India, we might find an untouchable :-
Hinduism. The former name given to a member of a lower caste in India considered a defiled Hindu because of his superiority. In 1894 the name was awarded to a higher caste; Harijan.
Why don’t they just make it the norm?

Asked on March 14, 2021 in Single word requests.
Is there something also good to indicate discreet (meaning 18: Secretive; reticent: “was close about her personal life” ) otherwise? Secretive might also apply in extreme cases.
