By PHILIP OCHIENGMore by this AuthorTo vote is to pick from many offers, namely, to make a choice. That is why a nation’s top class is called the pick of that nation, namely, its cultural and intellectual elite. FROM FRENCHIndeed, English has borrowed the word elite from the French verb elir, which means to elect, to choose, to pick. From the French infinitive elir (to choose, to elect, to select), English has borrowed the noun elite to refer to a society’s top culturo-intellectual class.
