Well---not quite,
That may be what wikipedia or some such says--but the actual meaning from the birth of what we know as Democracy in Athens in the 5th. century B.C. means someone not expected to have a vote--someone who 'held no position'. One of the 'common folk'---not peasant (Penetes') but, let's say 'unskilled worker' ---- But no, none of those accusations are at all derogatory are they.......... Someone without a say---someone who holds no position ---common---perhaps even 'unskilled worker' Yeah, thats O.K.---gosh, I thought for a moment he was being abusive---but, silly old spectacle wearing me............
Yeah!
