viii you please tell me the meaning
and derivation of the words chauvin-
ism and ch%auvinist?
A chauvinist is one who is absurdly
jealous of his country's honor or puffed
up with an exaggerated sense of ma
tional glory. The words ''chauvinist'
and "chauvinism' are taken from the
name Of Nicolas Chauvin, a soldier of
Napoleon, who was so notorious for
his exaggerated and demonstrative de-
votion to the imperial cause that he
was c~aricatured on the stage, and his
name came to stand for all people who
work mischief by their unreasoning.
