vulgus

To start very generally: The word vulgar comes from the Latin vulgus, meaning the common people.

In this basilica the judges called Centumviri held their courts, which were four in number: "Jam clamor, centumque viri, densumque coron� Vulgus: et infanti Julia tecta placent."

Sedere cœpit sententia hæc pariterque et eruditum vulgus et rude in eam cursu vadit.

Remembering this, I forbear tying Sellar to odi profanum vulgus.

"But the poem is not destined to be squandered on profanum vulgus: it is strictly for private consumption."
