Democratian

/ˌdɛməˈkrætɪən/ noun, adjective

Definition

A person who advocates for or believes in democratic principles; relating to democracy or democrats.

Etymology

From 'democrat' + '-ian' suffix. 'Democrat' comes from Greek 'dēmos' (people) + 'kratos' (power). The '-ian' ending creates either a person or adjective form, similar to 'libertarian' or 'authoritarian'.

Kelly Says

This is an old-fashioned word that's mostly been replaced by 'democrat' or 'democratic'—it shows how language evolves to drop unnecessary syllables when simpler words work just as well!
