A person who opposes or rejects the ideas, culture, or values of the medieval period.
From anti- (against) + medievalist (one who studies or admires the Middle Ages). The prefix 'anti-' comes from Greek, while 'medieval' derives from Latin 'medium aevum' (middle age). The term emerged in the 18th-19th centuries alongside the Enlightenment's rejection of medieval thought.
