In its wider sense it means those of the middle class, originally neither [[aristocrat]]ic nor [[peasant]] and was the French equivalent of [[Burgess]] ([[English]]) or Burgher ([[German]]). All were citizens or freemen of the [[medieval]] ''burgh'' or town from whence we get the modern "Borough". By extension, the adjective "bourgeois" can mean hum-drum, unimaginative, conventional and the like.
