Enosist

/ɛˈnoʊsɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who advocates for or supports enosis, particularly those who pushed for Cyprus to unite with Greece.

Etymology

From 'enosis' plus the suffix '-ist' (one who believes in or practices), literally meaning 'one who supports unification/enosis.'

Kelly Says

Enosists were powerful political figures in Cyprus during the mid-20th century, and understanding their movement is crucial to understanding why Cyprus remains divided today—history shows how idealistic political goals can lead to tragedy.
