Origin

From the name of Captain Charles C. Boycott (1832–97), an Irish land agent so treated in 1880, in an attempt instigated by the Irish Land League to get rents reduced.

In Ireland during the late 19th century the Irish Land League was campaigning for lower rents and land reform. One of its tactics was to ostracize people, refusing to have any dealings with them. In September 1880 a land agent called Captain Charles C. Boycott became one of the first to be shunned in this way and boycott was born. Newspapers took up the term immediately and enthusiastically, and other European languages quickly borrowed it. French, for example, has boycotter, Dutch has boycotten, and German boycottiren.
