Definition
plural of millionaire; people who have at least one million units of a currency, usually dollars.
Etymology
From French 'millionnaire' (million + -aire suffix), which became common in English after the 1700s. 'Million' comes from Latin 'mille' (thousand) plus the augmentative suffix.
Kelly Says
The first person to be called a 'millionaire' in English was probably a 16th-century merchant, and the word was actually considered somewhat taboo—talking about having a million of anything seemed boastful until wealth became a common topic in modern capitalism.
