Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
One who is poor, a pauper.
adj
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryPoor, penniless.
Probably a blend of poverty + -o (diminutive suffix), owing to the term's Australian origins. Alternatively, borrowed from Portuguese povo (“common people; the working class”).
