A privilege is a special right or advantage that only one person or group has.

If you talk about privilege, you are talking about the power and advantage that only a small group of people have, usually because of their wealth or their high social class.

You can use privilege in expressions such as be a privilege or have the privilege when you want to show your appreciation of someone or something or to show your respect.

To privilege someone or something means to treat them better or differently than other people or things rather than treat them all equally.
