Word origin

The adjective demografisch is formed from German Demografie, a term based on Greek demos for 'people' and graphein for 'write' or 'describe', plus -isch.

Usage tips

  • The adjective refers to population statistics rather than democratic institutions, so 'demografisch' is not the German equivalent of 'democratic'.
