Usage Examples
_context": "Le mot 'citoyen' est utilisé pour décrire un membre d'une communauté politique qui jouit des droits et assume les devoirs que cette appartenance implique.
Etymology
**Citoyen** comes from Old French *cité* “city,” which in turn is derived from Late Latin *cittatus* (“a town, a settlement”). The suffix *‑en* (from Latin *‑ensis*, meaning “of, belonging to”) was added, forming *cité‑en* → *citoyen* “one belonging to a city.” The word entered modern French in the 16th–17th centuries, expanding from a strictly urban sense to denote any member of a political community.
