milieu
의미: A person's social environment or surroundings. The particular social, cultural, or professional setting in which a person lives or operates.
Milieu is borrowed directly from French and retains its French pronunciation in English. It is more specific than 'environment' and more atmospheric than 'context,' suggesting the cultural and social texture of a world. It collocates with 'social,' 'cultural,' 'artistic,' 'intellectual,' and 'political.' The plural can be either 'milieus' or the French 'milieux.'
