"bourgeois" meaning in French

See bourgeois in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /buʁ.ʒwa/ Audio: Fr-bourgeois.ogg Forms: bourgeoise [feminine], bourgeois [masculine, plural], bourgeoises [feminine, plural]
Etymology: Inherited from Middle French bourgois, from Old French borgeis (“town dweller”), from borc (“fortified place, town”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *burgz (“fortress”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰs (“fortified elevation”). The path from Proto-Germanic to Old French is unclear. Perhaps via Frankish *burg or Late Latin burgus, or possibly both, and probably through the Late Latin [Term?] intermediate burgensis. Compare Italian borghese, Portuguese burguês, Spanish burgués. By surface analysis, bourg + -ois.

Perhaps via Frankish *burg or Late Latin burgus, or possibly both, and probably through the Late Latin [Term?] intermediate burgensis. Compare Italian borghese, Portuguese burguês, Spanish burgués.\nBy surface analysis, bourg + -ois.",
