Demophile

/ˈdɛməˌfaɪl/ noun

Definition

A person who loves the common people or has a strong affection for and support of democratic principles and popular interests.

Etymology

From Greek demos (people) + -phile (lover of), using Greek phile, the feminine form of philos. This term is virtually synonymous with demophil, using the more standard modern combining form spelling.

Kelly Says

Demophile is such a beautiful word because it suggests not just political agreement but actual love for ordinary people—it's the kind of person who genuinely enjoys talking to anyone, regardless of social status.
