An Alumnus (manly) or an alumna (ladylike) of a school, college, or other school is a previous understudy who has either joined in or graduated in some style from the foundation. The word is Latin and just signifies “one who is being (or has been) fed”. The plural is graduated class for men and blended gatherings and graduated class for ladies.

The term is now and again used to allude to a previous representative or individual from an association, patron, or detainee.
