n. pl. Pueblo or Pueb·los
[American Spanish, from Spanish, people, pueblo, from Latin populus, people; see public.] Word History: The identity of the Pueblo peoples is undeniably connected to the stone and adobe dwellings they have occupied for more than 700 years—especially from an etymological point of view. Originally coming from the Latin word populus, "people, nation," the Spanish word pueblo, meaning "town, village," as well as "nation, people," was naturally used by 16th-century Spanish explorers to refer to villages that they discovered or founded in the Southwest. The English word pueblo is first recorded in an American text in this sense in 1808, marking it as an Americanism. The distinctive adobe or stone villages of the Pueblo peoples, with some buildings rising as high as five stories, must have impressed the Spaniards considerably, because pueblo came to be applied to the inhabitants as well as the village, perhaps in honor of their architectural achievements or simply as an obvious way to distinguish the Pueblo from other Native American peoples. The first recorded usage of this sense is found in 1834. |

Earth's monarchs are her peoples. --Whitter. A government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people. --T. Parker. Note: Peopleis a collective noun, generally construed with a plural verb, and only occasionally used in the plural form (peoples), in the sense of nations or races. 2. Persons, generally; an indefinite number of men and women; folks; population, or part of population; as, country people; -- sometimes used as an indefinite subject or verb, like on in French, and man in German; as, people in adversity. People were tempted to lend by great premiums. --Swift. People have lived twenty-four days upon nothing but water. --Arbuthnot. 3.

Usage: When speaking of a state, we use people for the mass of the community, as distinguished from their rulers, and nation for the entire political body, including the rulers. In another sense of the term, nation describes those who are descended from the same stock; and in this sense the Germans regard themselves as one nation, though politically subject to different forms of government.| Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. |
