Origin: A borrowing from Russian. Etymons: Russian duxoborec; Russian duxobor.
Etymology: In α. forms < Russian duxoborec (plural duxoborcy; late 18th cent. in this sense: see below) < dux spirit + -o- -o- connective + -bor combining form, derivative of borot′ (now usually reflexive) to wrestle, to fight + -ec suffix forming nouns. In β. forms < Russian duxobor (plural duxobory; late 18th cent.) < dux spirit + -o- -o- connective + -bor combining form. Compare spirit wrestler n. at spirit n. Compounds 1f.Russian duxoborec (after Byzantine Greek πνευματομάχος : see Pneumatomachi n.) is attested from 1097 (in Old Russian) in sense ‘a heretic who denies the divinity of the Holy Spirit’. In the late 18th cent. the name was first applied to the Doukhobor sect as a term of disparagement, but was subsequently adopted (alongside the alternative formation duxobor) by the followers of the sect, being reinterpreted as ‘someone who fights alongside or with the assistance of the Holy Spirit’. In plural forms Doukhobory, Doukhobori after the Russian plural form.
Now chiefly historical.
A. n.
A member of a Russian Christian sect that probably originated in the 17th or early 18th cent., characterized by its belief in the immanence of God in all human beings, pacifism, and rejection of the doctrines and liturgy of the Orthodox Church; (also) a descendant of such a person.Following persecution by the Russian state and Orthodox Church, many Doukhobors emigrated to western Canada in the late 19th and early 20th cent., where they established cooperative communities and where today, in declining numbers, descendants maintain some of their beliefs and cultural practices.
