Etymology

The word 'poor' comes from Old French 'por', which originated from the Latin 'pauper', meaning 'poor, needy, or humble.' The superlative form 'poorliest' is formed by adding the suffix '-liest' to the base word 'poor.' This construction is typical in English to denote the extreme degree of an adjective. Historically, the term has been used in literature and speech to address socio-economic issues, particularly highlighting the struggles of the underprivileged and the implications of wealth disparity in society.
