Origin of person

First recorded in 1175–1225; Middle English persone, from Latin persōna “role” (in life, a play, or a tale) (Late Latin: “member of the Trinity”), originally “actor’s mask,” from Etruscan phersu (from Greek prósōpa “face, mask”) + -na a suffix

1. Person, individual, personage are terms applied to human beings. Person is the most general and common word: the average person.

Personage is used (sometimes ironically) of an outstanding or illustrious person: We have a distinguished personage visiting us today.

grammar notes for person

There is understandable confusion about the plural of this word. Is it persons or people? Person —like other regular English nouns—constructs its grammatical plural by adding -s, forming persons. This has been so since person came into Middle English in the late twelfth century. But as far back as the fourteenth century, some writers, including the poet Chaucer, were using an entirely different word— people, not persons —as the functional plural of person. And today, people seems more natural, especially in casual, informal conversation or writing.
Using people as a plural of person has not always been free of controversy. From the mid nineteenth to the late twentieth century, the use of people instead of persons was hotly contested; and among some news publications, book publishers, and writers of usage books, it was expressly forbidden. To quell the fires of the argument, some usage authorities attempted to regulate use of the two forms—recommending persons when counting a small, specific number of individuals ( Three persons were injured in the accident ) and people when referring to a large, round, or uncountable number ( More than two thousand people bought tickets on the first day; People crowded around the exhibit, blocking it from view ).
But efforts to impose such precise rules in language usually fail. This rule does not appear in currently popular style manuals, and if such a rule still exists in anyone’s mind, it is mainly ignored. People is the plural form that most people are most comfortable with most of the time. Persons seems excessively formal and stilted in ordinary conversation or casual writing. One would probably not say, “How many persons came to your birthday party?” In legal or formal contexts, however, persons is often the form of choice ( The police are looking for any person or persons who may have witnessed the crime; Occupancy by more than 75 persons is prohibited by the fire marshal ). In addition, persons is often used when we pluralize person in a set phrase ( missing persons; persons of interest ). Otherwise, the modern consensus is that people is the preferred plural. Persons is not wrong, but it is increasingly rare.

Other definitions for person (2 of 2)

usage note for -person

The -person compounds are increasingly used, especially in the press, on radio and television, and in government and corporate communications, with the object of avoiding sex discrimination in language. Earlier practice was to use -man as the final element in such compounds regardless of the sex of the person referred to ( anchorman; businessman ) or to use -woman when referring to a woman ( anchorwoman; businesswoman ). Some object to these new -person compounds on the grounds that they are awkward or unnecessary, insisting that the equivalent and long-used compounds in -man are generic, not sex-marked. Others reject the -man compounds as discriminatory when applied to women or to persons whose sex is unknown or irrelevant. To resolve the argument, certain terms can be successfully shortened ( anchor; chair ). See also chairperson, -ess, lady, -man, -woman.

MORE ABOUT PERSON

What is a person?

A person is a human being, especially in contrast with an animal, plant, or object, as in Layla was the only person in the room, so my cat gave her all its attention.

Person can be used in combination with an adjective word to describe something specific about that individual, as in Johann was a dog person, but his spouse was definitely a cat person.

In grammar, person is a category that distinguishes the speaker from other people. In English, you use first person when referring to yourself, either as an individual (I) or as part of a group (we). Second person refers to those you are talking to (you), and third person refers to people other than yourself and those you are speaking to (he, she, it, they).

Person has many other specialized uses, such as in philosophy and sociology.

Example: That person at the gate told me to come around this way to park.

Where does person come from?

The first records of the term person come from around 1175. It ultimately comes from the Greek prósōpa, meaning “face, mask.”

Person is a common way to refer to an individual human being and has developed some specialized uses. For example, person is sometimes used to mean someone’s body, usually referencing something they have in their possession, as in I feel so uncomfortable when I don’t have my phone on my person. In law, a natural person (that is, a human being) is distinguished from an artificial, or juristic, person, which is a legal entity (like a corporation) that has rights and duties under the law.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A person (PL: people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts.^[5]^[6]

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.

The plural form «people» is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in «a people»), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of person. The plural form «persons» is often used in philosophical and legal writing.

Personhood

An abstract painting of a person by Paul Klee. The concept of a person can be very challenging to define.

The criteria for being a person… are designed to capture those attributes which are the subject of our most humane concern with ourselves and the source of what we regard as most important and most problematical in our lives.

— Harry G. Frankfurt

Personhood is the status of being a person. Defining personhood is a controversial topic in philosophy and law, and is closely tied to legal and political concepts of citizenship, equality, and liberty. According to common worldwide general legal practice, only a natural person or legal personality has rights, protections, privileges, responsibilities, and legal liability.
Personhood continues to be a topic of international debate, and has been questioned during the abolition of slavery and the fight for women’s rights, in debates about abortion, fetal rights, and in animal rights advocacy.^[7]^[6]

Various debates have focused on questions about the personhood of different classes of entities. Historically, the personhood of women, and slaves has been a catalyst of social upheaval. In most societies today, postnatal humans are defined as persons. Likewise, certain legal entities such as corporations, sovereign states and other polities, or estates in probate are legally defined as persons.^[8] However, some people believe that other groups should be included; depending on the theory, the category of «person» may be taken to include or not pre-natal humans or such non-human entities as animals, artificial intelligences, or extraterrestrial life.

Personal identity

What does it take for individuals to persist from moment to moment – or in other words, for the same individual to exist at different moments?

Personal identity is the unique identity of persons through time. That is to say, the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a person at one time and a person at another time can be said to be the same person, persisting through time. In the modern philosophy of mind, this concept of personal identity is sometimes referred to as the diachronic problem of personal identity. The synchronic problem is grounded in the question of what features or traits characterize a given person at one time.

Identity is an issue for both continental philosophy^{[citation needed]} and analytic philosophy.^{[citation needed]} A key question in continental philosophy is in what sense we can maintain the modern conception of identity, while realizing many of our prior assumptions about the world are incorrect.^{[citation needed]}

Proposed solutions to the problem of personal identity include continuity of the physical body, continuity of an immaterial mind or soul, continuity of consciousness or memory,^[9] the bundle theory of self,^[10] continuity of personality after the death of the physical body,^[11] and proposals that there are actually no persons or selves who persist over time at all.^{[citation needed]}

Development of the concept

In ancient Rome, the word persona (Latin) or prosopon (πρόσωπον; Ancient Greek) originally referred to the masks worn by actors on stage. The various masks represented the various «personae» in the stage play.^[12]

The concept of person was further developed during the Trinitarian and Christological debates of the 4th and 5th centuries in contrast to the word nature.^[13] During the theological debates, some philosophical tools (concepts) were needed so that the debates could be held on common basis to all theological schools. The purpose of the debate was to establish the relation, similarities and differences between the Ancient Greek: Λóγος, romanized: Lógos/Verbum and God. The philosophical concept of person arose, taking the word «prosopon» (Ancient Greek: πρόσωπον, romanized: prósōpon) from the Greek theatre. Therefore, Christ (the Ancient Greek: Λóγος, romanized: Lógos/Verbum) was defined as a «person» of God. This concept was applied later to the Holy Ghost, the angels and to all human beings. Trinitarianism holds that God has three persons.

Since then, a number of important changes to the word’s meaning and use have taken place, and attempts have been made to redefine the word with varying degrees of adoption and influence. According to Jörg Noller, at least six approaches can be distinguished:

«The ontological definition of the person as «an individual substance of a rational nature» (Boethius).
The self-consciousness-based definition of the person as a being that «can conceive itself as itself» (John Locke).
The moral-philosophical definition of the person as «an end in itself» (Immanuel Kant). In current analytical debate, the focus has shifted to the relationship between bodily organism and person.
The theory of animalism (Eric T. Olson) states that persons are essentially animals and that mental or psychological attributes play no role in their identity.
Constitution theory (Lynne Baker), on the other hand, attempts to define the person as a natural and at the same time self-conscious being: the bodily organism constitutes the person without being identical to it. Rather, it forms with it a «unity without identity».
[… Another idea] for conceiving the natural-rational unity of the person has emerged recently in the concept of the «person life» (Marya Schechtman).»^[14]

Other theories attribute personhood to those states that are viewed to possess intrinsic or universal value. Value theory attempts to capture those states that are universally considered valuable by their nature, allowing one to assign the concept of personhood upon those states. For example, Chris Kelly argues that the value that is intuitively bestowed upon humans, their possessions, animals, and aspects of the natural environment is due to a value monism known as «richness.» Richness, Kelly argues, is a product of the «variety» and the «unity» within an entity or agent. According to Kelly, human beings and animals are morally valued and entitled to the status of persons because they are complex organisms whose multitude of psychological and biological components are generally unified towards a singular purpose in any moment, existing and operating with relative harmony.^[15]

Primus defines people exclusively as their desires, whereby desires are states which are sought for arbitrary or nil purpose(s). Primus views that desires, by definition, are each sought as ends in and of themselves and are logically the most precious (valuable) states that one can conceive. Primus distinguishes states of desire (or ‘want’) from states which are sought instrumentally, as a means to an end (on the basis of perceived ‘need’). Primus’ approach can thus be contrasted to Kant’s moral-philosophical definition of a person: whereas Kant’s second formulation of the categorical imperative states that rational beings must never be treated merely as a means to an end and that they must also always be treated as an end, Primus offers that the aspects that humans (and some animals) desire, and only those aspects, are ends, by definition.^[16]

Final Thoughts on Words to Describe Personality

Consider the aspects of yourself that you admire. Are you a conscientious employee? Loyal? Funny? These are all personality adjectives that you may use to describe yourself.

These descriptors allow you to transmit information about yourself to others who don’t know you. When you use personality adjectives in your writing, you need fewer words to describe personality and construct an image for your reader.

Even if you’re using fewer words, they’re being used more efficiently. This knowledge is useful for creating characters, describing historical personalities, and writing to make an impression. ‎

When you employ a positive adjective, you help to create a favorable impression of the character. Bad adjectives, on the other hand, highlight a person’s negative traits.

Both sorts of words are included in the list of words to describe personality that we have shared with you. So please feel free to make use of them. ‎

Person

A person is a being, such as a human, that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood, which in turn is defined differently by different authors in different disciplines, and by different cultures in different times and places. In ancient Rome, the word «persona» or «prosopon» originally referred to the masks worn by actors on stage. The various masks represented the various «personae» in the stage play.
The current concept of person was developed during the Trinitarian and Christological debates of the 4th and 5th centuries in contrast to the word natura. During the theological debates, some philosophical tools were needed so that the debates could be held on common basis to all theological schools. The purpose of the debate was to establish the relation, similarities and differences between the Λóγος/»Verbum» and God. The philosophical concept of person arose, taking the word «prosopon» from the Greek theatre. Therefore, Christus and God were defined as different «persons». This concept was applied later to the Holy Ghost, the angels and to all human beings.
Since then, a number of important changes to the word’s meaning and use have taken place, and attempts have been made to redefine the word with varying degrees of adoption and influence. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as he or she was or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The common plural of «person», «people», is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group, so the plural «persons» is often used in contexts which require precision such as philosophical and legal writing.

How would you define a person without (or with very bad) social skills?

I don’t mean a totally anti-social, but one that struggles to behave in a social context, and feels awkward or out-of-place when forced to stay and talk with other people.

Maybe that would be anti-social, but not by choice… Just thinking to be rejected/avoided by others, and that keeps trying to relate to others but fails everytime.

Is there a word that could describe this? Or else, what word would be the closest and more appropriate to help explain this?

Altough some answer overlap my question this question differs from mine. This question is not about understanding others and their feelings, but rather at behaving in social context, or being marked as a weird/awkward person that’s avoided by others.

Socially Inept

«Unable to judge and improvise interactions with other people in a acceptable or ‘normal’ manner. By a mix of being too keen or plain ignorant the socially inept seem to live in their own world exempt from who they’re talking to. «

I think being socially inept could lead to being a social outcast, but the ineptitude precedes the exile.

Avoidant personality disorder. It is more than social awkwardness or an inability to learn social skills. It draws upon a severe phobia of failure/anxiety in interacting with others.

Boor is totally inaccurate as a boor is usually self absorbed in their own interests. Socially inept is extremely close but represents an ability to learn social skills at some point.

Avoidant personality disorder is nearly impossible to overcome. It represents extreme feelings of anxiety in just thinking about interacting with strangers on a social level. Most suffering from this disorder can still interact with people in a work setting. This is the norm as well for those considered as nerds, etc. In this type of setting, Sufferers can rely on intelligence to guide their words to solve problems or interact peers. In a social setting, however; the anxiety sets in, sufferers feel uncomfortable and withdraw.

Doing some reaserch over the net, I think I’ve found what I was looking for.

I believe the term social outcast would be the most appropriate word to describe what I asked previously, so I’m adding my own answer here.

I’m quoting here a piece of definition that is not very «formal», which doesn’t come from a dictionary but rather from «urbandictionary.com»:

A loner or social outcast is a person rejected by their peers because
they are different, strange, inept or misunderstood. They are
ostracized, shunned, avoided, excluded, and generally unwelcome. They
are victims of bullying, character assassins and scapegoats.

If the society into which this inept person fails to fit in is polite or decent or cultivated society, one could call him (or, perhaps less likely, her) a boor. But often the society that people try and clumsily fail to fit into is anything but those things, in which case the term would be decidedly less apt.
