noun
archaicliterary
A rude, ill-mannered or miserly person; in earlier English, a peasant or a person of low social rank.
Churl began as a plain word for a free peasant or countryman in Old English society, without any negative charge, but it drifted over time toward its modern sense of someone who is boorish, mean-spirited or ungracious. The related adjective churlish, meaning rude or surly, is now far more common than churl itself. Today the noun churl mostly appears in literary or deliberately old-fashioned writing.
