A person who advocates for or practices anarchism; someone who believes society should operate without a central government or hierarchical authority.
Greek an- (without) + archos (ruler); coined in English during the 17th-18th centuries as radical political philosophy gained philosophical definition.
The word 'anarch' is rarer than 'anarchist' in modern usage, but it emphasizes the person themselves rather than their beliefs—it's the difference between naming someone's philosophy versus naming their fundamental character.
