A person who opposed the right of women (or other groups) to vote, especially during the women's suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
From anti- (against) + suffragist (one who supports voting rights). Suffragist derives from Latin suffragium meaning 'vote' or 'support.' The term emerged in the late 1800s as opposition to the suffrage movement became organized.
