A person, organization, or policy that opposes or works to prevent corporate mergers and acquisitions.
From anti- + merger (from Latin 'mergere' meaning 'to plunge/combine'). The term emerged in 20th-century business and antitrust contexts when governments began regulating corporate consolidation.
The biggest antimergers were fought in the 1980s when companies tried to merge into mega-corporations—the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) literally had to block deals between phone companies and oil companies. Today, antimerger sentiment is roaring back as people worry Amazon, Apple, and Google are too powerful.
