Caste \Caste\, n. [Pg. casta race, lineage, fr. L. castus pure,

1. One of the hereditary classes into which the Hindu are
divided according to the laws of Brahmanism.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The members of the same caste are theoretically of
equal rank, and same profession or occupation, and may
not eat or intermarry with those not of their own
caste. The original are four, viz., the Brahmans, or
sacerdotal order; the Kshatriyas, or soldiers and
rulers; the Vaisyas, or husbandmen and merchants; and
the Sudras, or laborers and mechanics. Men of no caste
are Pariahs, outcasts. Numerous mixed classes, or
castes, have sprung up in the progress of time.
[1913 Webster]

2. A separate and fixed order or class of persons in society
who chiefly hold intercourse among themselves.
[1913 Webster]

The tinkers then formed an hereditary caste.
--Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]

{To lose caste}, to be degraded from the caste to which one
has belonged; to lose social position or consideration.
[1913 Webster]
