Definition
People who want to break away from a larger group, country, or organization and form their own independent unit.
Etymology
From 'separate' (from Latin 'separare,' to divide or sever) plus '-ist' (one who practices or advocates). The '-ist' suffix turns the concept into people holding that political belief.
Kelly Says
Separatist movements shaped modern maps—Catalonia, Quebec, Scotland all have separatist movements that nearly redrew borders. The word defines one of history's most powerful forces: people's desire to govern themselves.
