peasantry
含义: The class of small farmers and agricultural labourers, especially in feudal or pre-industrial societies.
Peasantry is primarily a historical term describing the rural working class who farmed land they often did not own. In European history, the peasantry formed the vast majority of the population and were subject to various obligations to landlords and the crown. The term can carry a patronising or derogatory tone in modern usage, implying backwardness or unsophistication.
