Definition
Plural of aristocracy; multiple societies or groups ruled by nobles or people of the highest social rank.
Etymology
From Ancient Greek aristos (best) and kratos (rule), with the English plural suffix -ies. The word describes systems of government where power belongs to the 'best' or most privileged people.
Kelly Says
Many aristocracies throughout history claimed they ruled because they were naturally superior, but historians now realize they just had better access to weapons and land!
