A person who is intolerant of different opinions, beliefs, races, or religions and refuses to listen to or accept views different from their own.
From Old French 'bigot,' possibly from Scandinavian root meaning 'by God' (an oath), though the exact origin is uncertain. The term came to describe those stubbornly devoted to a particular creed or belief system.
Interestingly, 'bigot' might come from the Norse oath 'by God,' and early bigots were described as people who religiously repeated 'by God' in their stubborn insistence—so it originally meant someone who clung to their words like scripture.
