Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOURGEOIS , a
French
  word, properly meaning a
freeman
  of a bourg or
borough
  in
France
 ; later the
term
  came to have the wider significance of the whole class lying between the ouvriers or workmen and the
nobility
 , and is now used generally of the trading
middle
 -class of any country. In printing, the word (pronounced burjoice') is used of a type coming in
size
  between longprimer and brevier; the derivation is supposed to be from the name of a
French
  printer, otherwise unknown.
