Thread: ходец

According to the context and the root it is easy imagine the meaning of this word, but I suppose it is a colloquial word, since it is very used in the net. The words that I have are:
"Дело первопроходцев революции". "The task / work of first Revolution wayfarers / walkers /Revolution-makers". It is like this? Thanks

первопроходец - первый, кто прошел по этому пути (дословно), идущий впереди.

первопроходец ~ pioneer

...but I suppose it is a colloquial word

No, it's a literary word, it's even somewhat lofty (it depends on the context, of course).

Thank you. But I hadn't found it in Морфологический анализ, nor in my dictionary. Happily you are here

Первопроходец = pioneer
Если еще нужно.

Thank you.
