fascista

/fasˈθista/ · B2 · adj

fascist

🪓 fascista < Italian fascio = bundle of rods with an axe, Roman power symbol

Fascism comes from Italian fascio, meaning bundle, from Latin fasces: rods bound around an axe, carried as a sign of state authority. Spanish fascista (Spanish also writes it facista) keeps that root; the bundle stands for strength through unity under one power.
