Did you guys know where the word Quisling comes from?
Definition 1:
"Quisling" refers to a collaborator or traitor, particularly someone who collaborates with an occupying force, derived from the name of Vidkun Quisling, the leader of a Nazi-collaborating government in Norway during World War II.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- The term "Quisling" comes from Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian military officer and politician who led a fascist collaborationist government in German-occupied Norway during World War II.
- The word is used to describe someone who betrays their own country by collaborating with an enemy occupying force, or more generally, as a synonym for a traitor or collaborator.
