(antiparliamentarian)
against parliament
Etymology
'antiparliamentarian' originates from Modern English, specifically the prefix 'anti-' (from Greek 'anti-' meaning 'against'), the noun 'parliament' (from Old French 'parlement'), and the suffix '-arian' (from Latin '-arius' via French), forming a word meaning 'opposed to parliament'. 「antiparliamentarian」は現代英語に由来し、接頭辞 'anti-'(ギリシャ語 'anti-'「~に対して」)、名詞 'parliament'(古フランス語 'parlement' に由来)、接尾辞 '-arian'(ラテン語 '-arius' 経由)を組み合わせて「議会に反対する」を意味する語を形成している。
'parliament' itself came into English via Old French 'parlement' (from parler 'to speak'); 'parliamentarian' developed to mean a supporter or member of parliament, and 'antiparliamentarian' was later formed by adding the prefix 'anti-' to indicate opposition. 「parliament」は古フランス語 'parlement'(parler「話す」から)を通じて英語に入った。'parliamentarian' は議会の支持者・構成員を指す語として発展し、やがて接頭辞 'anti-' を付けて 'antiparliamentarian'(反議会の意)が作られた。
Initially it meant 'opposed to parliamentary rule or the institution of parliament'; over time the meaning has remained largely the same and is used to describe individuals or movements against parliamentary institutions or parliamentary government. 「当初は『議会支配・議会制度に反対する』を意味したが、時を経ても意味はほぼ変わらず、議会制度や議会政治に反対する個人や運動を指す語として用いられている。」
