insurrectionist
noun insurrectionists
-
A person who provokes or takes part in an insurrection.
It comes from the Latin insurgo, meaning “to rise up within”: so insurrectionists are, etymologically, the same as “insurgents”, even if that is normally a word for those who do not meekly accept western military rule.
Similar: insurrectionary
adjective
-
Involved in or characterized by insurrection.
The atmosphere was undeniably insurrectionist in nature, yet the police response was languid to the extent that one woman asked an officer when they would be leaving because "they have to fix up."
