Anarchs

/ˈænɑːrks/ noun

Definition

Plural of anarch; people who practice or advocate anarchism, or those who reject all forms of government and authority.

Etymology

From Greek 'anarchos' (an- 'without' + archos 'ruler'). The singular 'anarch' is less common than 'anarchist' in modern usage but carries the same fundamental meaning.

Kelly Says

The word 'anarch' is older than 'anarchist'—Shakespeare used it, making anarchs one of history's most enduring rebels in the pages of Western literature.
