peer

noun B2

Meaning

A peer is a person who is equal to another in social standing or age, often used to refer to colleagues or classmates in a professional or educational context.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "peer" with "peer-to-peer," which refers to a type of network rather than the concept of equality among individuals.
