Plural of egalitarian; people who believe in or advocate for equality of rights, status, and opportunities among all humans.
From egalitarian (one who believes in equality) + -s plural. The singular noun form emerged in 19th-century English from French sources.
Early egalitarians had radically different ideas from modern ones—18th-century versions often excluded women and enslaved people, showing how even 'equality' movements had deeply limited definitions of who counted as human.
