Plebs is short for plebians,

plebeians2 were the general body of Roman citizens and those who were privileged were labeled
patricians3.
Plebs是plebians一词的简写形式,源于古罗马时期。Plebians指古罗马时期的普通民众,比他们身份更高贵的被称为patricians(贵族)。
Nowadays, plebs is one associated with those in the lower class. They were often defined as members of a low-born, despised social class and a commoner, while many people who consider themselves modern-day patricians often look down and mock them.
如今,plebs多指处于社会底层的人,即我们所说的“diao丝”。他们多被归类为出生低下、平凡无奇,且被轻视的社会阶层。而那些自认为是现代社会贵族的人经常会鄙视或嘲笑他们。
