snob
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Late 18th century dialectal English snob (“cobbler”), of unknown origin. Early senses of the word carried the meaning of "lower status"; it was then used to describe those seeking to imitate those of higher wealth or status.

The modern sense was popularized by William Makepeace Thackeray in The Book of Snobs (1848).
