revanchistn.adj.

Brit.

/rᵻˈvan(t)ʃɪst/, U.S.

/rəˈvɑn(t)ʃəst/

Forms: 1800s– revanchist, 1800s– revanchiste.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; probably partly modelled on a German lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: revanche n., -ist suffix.

Etymology: < revanche n. + -ist suffix, probably after German Revanchist, noun (1876 or earlier) and revanchistisch, adjective (1910 or earlier) and French revanchiste (1875 or earlier as noun, 1888 or earlier as adjective).German Revanchist and revanchistisch are in later use chiefly attested in East German political propaganda (or in Western quotations from such texts), where they are found from the early 1950s as derogatory epithets for West German politicians, who were so called on account of the express aim of early West German policy of recuperating the former German territories in the east. These specific uses probably represent calques on Russian revanšist, noun (1889 or earlier) and revanšistskij, adjective (1923 or earlier) respectively.

Originally and chiefly Politics.

A. n.
