How to use "Blue-blooded" in context?
What does it mean to be "blue-blooded"?
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines "blue-blooded" as "[a] term applied to people of noble or high-ranking birth, especially as contrasted with those who are of middle or working-class origin." When used to describe someone, the term typically connotes aristocracy, privilege, and/or wealth.
There's no scientific explanation for the term's origins, but it is believed to have originated in Britain in the late 16th century. During that time, there were only a handful of families that were considered to be of high birth.
