单词	Whig
释义	WhigWhig /wɪɡ/ noun [countable] Word Origin WORD ORIGINWhig Origin: 1600-1700 Whiggamore ‘member of a 17th-century Scottish group opposed to the king’ (17-20 centuries), probably from Scottish English whig ‘to drive’ + more ‘horse, mare’ Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS According to Benton, Whigs and the abolitionists who wanted Florida to remain a haven for runaways were in agreement. Both Democrats and Whigs wanted to gloss over sectional differences and cement party loyalties, not divide the country. In other places we find Whig crowds retaliating to a Tory initiative. Likewise, we can still find examples of Tories attacking the theory of the ancient constitution and Whigs defending it. On the other side, the Whig defence of the executive was not totally new after 1689. The Whigs were low churchmen and Hanoverians, the Tories high churchmen and Jacobites. The interregnum produced by the King's removal facilitated a sudden and dramatic resurgence of the Whigs. The Low Church bishops proved to be valuable Parliamentary allies to the Whigs. word sets WORD SETS► Groupings agitate, verbagitation, nounagitator, nounbipartisan, adjectivebipartite, adjectivebloc, nounBolshevik, nouncapitalism, nouncentrist, adjectivecoalition, nouncommie, nouncommunism, nouncommunist, nouncommunist, adjectiveCon, confederacy, nounconfederate, nounconfederation, nouncongress, nounconservatism, nounDem., disloyal, adjectivedissident, noundivide, verbdivisive, adjectivefascism, nounfascist, nounfederal, adjectivefederate, verbfederation, nounfront, nounginger group, nounhegemony, nounheterodox, adjectiveIndependent, nouninfighting, nouninterest group, nounIRA, nounIron Curtain, the, Lab, Labour, nounleftie, nounleftist, adjectiveleft-of-centre, adjectiveleft-wing, adjectivelefty, nounLib Dem, nounLiberal, nounLiberal Democrats, nounLiberal Party, loyalist, nounLuddite, nounmachine, nounmajority leader, nounminority leader, nounmoderate, adjectivemoderate, nounmonarchist, nounmovement, nounnationalism, nounnationalist, adjectivenationalist, nounNazi, nounneutral, adjectivenon-partisan, adjectivepalace revolution, nounparamilitary, adjectivepartisan, adjectivepartisan, nounparty, nounparty political, adjectiveparty politics, nounpinko, nounpro-, prefixpro-choice, adjectiveR, rabble-rousing, nounradical, nounrally, nounreactionary, adjectiverealign, verbrebel, nounrebellion, nounrebellious, adjectivered, adjectivered, nounrepublican, nounrevolt, nounrevolt, verbrevolutionary, adjectiverevolutionary, nounrightist, adjectiveright-of-centre, adjectiveright-wing, adjectiveroyalist, nounseparatist, nounspecial interest group, nounsplinter group, nounsplit, verbsubcommittee, nounsubversion, nounsuffragette, nounsympathizer, nounsympathy, nountendency, nounTory, nounTrotskyite, nountrue-blue, adjectiveUnionist, nounuprising, nounWhig, nounwing, noun a member of a British political party of the 18th and early 19th centuries which wanted to limit royal power, and later became the Liberal Party
