Cách sử dụng
'Parvenu' is a French-origin word that refers to someone who was once poor or from a lower social class but has now become wealthy or successful. It can be used in a situation where someone has tried to overcompensate for their previous lack of wealth or status, such as by showing off their money or trying too hard to fit in with a higher social class. It can also be used to refer to someone who has achieved success through their own hard work and ambition, but is still not fully accepted by the upper class because of their background.
