Word origin

The term 'lowborn' traces its roots to Middle English 'lowbourn' which combines 'low', meaning of little height or status, and 'born', referencing one's birth. The notion of social hierarchy was particularly pronounced in medieval societies, where one's birth often dictated their status and opportunities in life. 'Lowborn' thus became synonymous with individuals who were born into lower socioeconomic conditions, lacking the noble lineage associated with the upper classes. Over time, the term has evolved to broadly represent anyone from modest origins, reflecting the biases and structures of social stratification inherent in many cultures. This term underscores the impact of birth on social mobility and raises questions about meritocracy and inequality in society.
