PLEBEIANIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Plebeianize is a verb that describes the process or action of making something or someone plebeian, in other words, to lower their social status or make them resemble or conform to the characteristics and behaviors typically associated with the common people or lower social classes. The term originates from the word "plebeian," which refers to a person of low social rank or someone lacking sophistication and refinement.

   When something is plebeianized, it undergoes a transformation that aligns it with the characteristics or standards typically associated with the common masses. This can be seen in different contexts such as fashion, language, culture, or manners. For instance, if a high-end luxury brand decides to create a collection targeting a broader audience, they may be accused of plebeianizing their brand, as they are making it more accessible to the masses rather than preserving its exclusivity.

   Similarly, plebeianizing a person may involve them adopting behaviors or values that are perceived as common or lacking refinement. This can happen through various means, such as assimilating to a different social group, changing dialect or speech patterns, or even adjusting one's mannerisms to fit in with a different social class.

   Overall, "plebeianize" refers to the act of reducing social status or conforming to stereotypical traits associated with lower social classes, often in an attempt to relate to or assimilate within those groups.

The word "plebeianize" is derived from the noun "plebeian", which originated from the Latin word "plebeius".
