have-not n."poor person," 1742, from have + not. Have in the sense of "one who 'has,' one of the wealthier of persons" is from the same source. Earliest in translation of "Don Quixote: 'There are but two families in the world, as my grandmother used to say; "the Have's and the Have-not's," and she stuck to the former; and now-a-days, master Don Quixote, people are more inclined to feel the pulse of Have than of Know.'
