This week’s Word Of The Week is: Denizen. Meaning a person who dwells within a particular place, it originally meant a resident of a country (as opposed to a foreigner). Denizen is derived via Old French from Latin words “within” and “foreign”. It has also been used as a verb meaning “to make a denizen”.
