Borrowed from French idéologue. By surface analysis, ideo- + -logue. First attested in the 19th century.

noun ideologues · ideolog

  1. One who advocates an ideology, especially as an official or preeminent advocate. An examination of the Nie et al. party and candidate levels over time (shown in Figure 10) reveals that the changes in the number of ideologues in the levels from 1960 to 1964 were caused entirely by changes in the candidate index.
