What is another word for pauper?
Pronunciation: [pˈɔːpə] (IPA) 
Pauper, a term used to describe someone who is extremely poor and lacks resources, is a blunt and unfeeling term. There are many other words in the English language that can be used to describe someone's financial status without denigrating them. For instance, words like indigent, destitute, impoverished, needy, and underprivileged are all more sensitive options. Alternatively, words such as struggling, low-income, financially vulnerable, and disadvantaged can also work. Using such terms can help create a more empathetic conversation surrounding the challenges faced by people living in poverty, and reduce the stigma attached to being poor.
