- As a noun: it refers to the small group of people or members considered the best, most powerful, or most privileged — e.g., "the political elite" or "the economic elite."
Connotations: it can be neutral or positive (high-quality, top-performing) or negative (exclusive, out of touch, ruling class). Examples: "She was part of the academic elite" or "The company hired elite engineers."
Synonyms: top, foremost, select, privileged. Antonyms: ordinary, common, average. Origin: from French élite, from Latin eligere “to choose.”
