(pronounced DEN-uh-zun)

A word with several meanings, but we’ll move from most to least popular. Most: One who frequents a particular place. Lesser: One who resides in a location or region. Least: One allowed to live in or gain citizenship foreign country.

Example: The Unique Lighting showroom’s denizens were a loyal group, for even when the design district – located on the other side of town – advertised lighting specials, designers and contractors patronized the isolated establishment for its fantastic customer service.
