IPA: /ˌpɹəʊ.lɪˈtɛə.ɹɪ.ət/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˌpɹoʊ.lɪˈtɛɚ.i.ət/ [General-American] Audio: En-ca-proletariat.oga [Canada] Forms: proletariats [plural]
enPR: prō'lĭ-târʹē-ət Etymology: From French prolétariat (“proletariats as a class; state of being a proletariat”), from Latin prōlētārius (“belonging to the lowest class of citizens, whose only contribution to the state was their offspring; member of this class”) + French -at (suffix denoting actions or the results of actions). Prōlētārius is derived from prōlēs (“offspring, posterity”) + -ārius (suffix forming adjectives from nouns, or forming nouns denoting agents of use from other nouns); prōlēs is from pro- (prefix meaning ‘bringing forth or into being; bringing into the open’) + *olēs (a variant of *oleō (“to grow”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”)).
