Patriotism
Patriotism (pronunciation: /ˈpeɪtriəˌtɪzəm/) is a term that refers to the love, devotion, and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment. This attachment can be a combination of many different feelings relating to one's own homeland, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects.
Etymology
The term Patriotism originates from the Greek word 'patriotes', meaning 'fellow countryman'. It was later adopted by the French as 'patriotisme', and then by the English language in the late 17th century.
