The word "bourgeoisie" is a plural noun. We use the word "bourgeois" as an adjective and occasionally as the singular noun. Before there was capitalism in Western Europe, there was feudalism. In French feudalism, the term "bourgeoisie" arose to refer to the
middle-classes of the cities, people who traded or other men of wealth but not the highest social standing.
