Nationalism (/ˈnæʃənəˌlɪzəm/; from Latin natio meaning "nation") is a political ideology that emphasizes loyalty, devotion, or allegiance to a nation or nation-state and holds that such obligations outweigh other individual or group interests.
Etymology
The term "nationalism" is derived from natio (birth, tribe), a term used by the Romans to denote a tribe or division of people. The suffix "-ism" was added in the 19th century to denote a political ideology centered around the concept of the nation.
