What is the 4-lettered word for the orders that plebeians fought and protested for rights?
The plebeians (the commoners, both rich and poor) fought only one order: the patricians (the aristocracy). They did not right for rights. All Roman citizens had the same rights. The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievances. The rich plebeians fought for access to the offices of state and the seats of the senate (which the patricians monopolised) and power sharing with the patricians.
There is not a four letter word for the patricians. The patricians called themselves patres (fathers). This is what the term patricians is derived from. The singular of patres is pater. Neither of them is a four letter word.
The term plebeian is English. The Latin term is plebs (plural plebem). Therefore, there was a four letter word the plebeians, not the patricians.
