Word: herodism Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative letter-case form of Herodism. Labels: alt-of, no-plural
Word: Herodism Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Herod the Great, the biblical king who is said to have ordered the execution of all male infants under the age of two in the town of Bethlehem and the surrounding region, as he saw Jesus as a threat to his rule and who was allowed to rule by accepting Roman control and dominance. 1. The killing of unwanted people, especially children. Labels: uncountable Example: In 1702 he wrote in opposition to prevalent intolerance a phamphlet entitled "The shortest way with Dissenters," in which he counselled the violent and total extinction of all who differed with the state-sanctioned creed. He was, of course, out-Heroding Herod to mock Herodism : but his imitation was too good and he was clapped into Newgate and condemned to the pillory. Example: I understand that the mothers often would be willing to rear their daughters; but the fathers, who have supreme control in their families, insist upon getting rid of useless mouths and choke their infant babes to death, the mothers readily acquiescing. Equeesik, one of our hunters on the sledge journey, who is himself a Netchillik, denies this charge of female Herodism. 2. Indulgence in or worship of worldly spectacle and power rather than that which is good or worthy. Labels: obsolete, uncountable Example: The target of defamation has been hurled from the pulpit and every rostrum upheaved to foster indolence and selfish principality of power. This mock heroism, or Herodism, is disgusting and sickening to a soul capable of finding worth outside of the world's pomp .and glitter, — outside of her charnel-house of ostentatious merit. Example: And they have taken especial pains to remind us that 'it is God who worketh in men both to will and to do of His good pleasure,' and to warn against the Nebuchadnezzarism and Herodism of taking credit to ourselves for the fruits of the Divine energy. 3. A political stance of allowing domination by a more powerful country, usually in order to preserve some level of control rather than being vanquished. Labels: uncountable Example: The author understands the person, society, and culture as three aspects of a unique phenomenon, which are dialectically relationed and, presently, are in contradiction; this scheme configures a revolutionary situation affecting the Latín American man (alienated by herodism, exploitation and marginality) and, therefore, involves both the society and the culture Example: Having re- embraced "Herodism," post-war Japan learned from the U.S. while under its control and was reborn as an economic power.
