aristocrat
의미: A member of the aristocracy or ruling class, typically one who holds a hereditary title or belongs to the landed gentry.
In British English, aristocrat has particular cultural weight given the continued existence of the peerage, the House of Lords, and great country estates. It can be used neutrally to describe someone of noble birth, or with irony to mock pretension and inherited privilege. The word also appears figuratively to describe anyone who behaves with conspicuous refinement or hauteur.
