"Earthling" meaning in English

See Earthling in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈɜːθlɪŋ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈɝθlɪŋ/ [General-American] Audio: En-au-Earthling.ogg Forms: Earthlings [plural]
Etymology: From earth + -ling (suffix indicating a resident); earth is ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₁er- (“earth”). Old English ierþling (“farmer, husbandman, ploughman”, literally “one of the earth”) is formed from the same roots but generally did not outlive Old English; all modern uses are historical: see earthling. Compare also human, which is derived from Latin humus (“ground, soil”).
