different between proletariat vs proletarian

English

Etymology

From French prolétariat (“proletariats as a class; state of being a proletariat”), from Latin pr?l?t?rius (“belonging to the lowest class of citizens, whose only contribution to the state was their offspring; member of this class”) + French -at (suffix denoting actions or the results of actions). Pr?l?t?rius is derived from pr?l?s (“offspring, posterity”) + -?rius (suffix forming adjectives from nouns, or forming nouns denoting agents of use from other nouns); pr?l?s is from pro- (prefix meaning ‘bringing forth or into being; bringing into the open’) + *ol?s (a variant of *ole? (“to grow”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h?el- (“to grow, nourish”)).
