Emergentry

Meaning: 1) A class of incredibly well-mannered emergency room staffers that are often rare to find. 2) An arising group of well bred citizens that have greater integrity than existing cultural aristocrats.

Function: Noun

Portmanteau Origins: 1) Emergency Room + Gentry 2) Emerging + Gentry

Example: "On a recent trip to the ER I encountered several kind and patient staff, a far different experience than I've had in the past. They should rename it the Emergentry Room."
