Nazi

== English == === Etymology === 1930, from German Nazi, a clipping of Nationalsozialist (“National Socialist”) (1924), earlier attestation (1903) as shortening of national-sozial), since in German the nati- in national /ˌnatsi̯oˈnaːl/ is approximately pronounced Nazi [ˈnäːtsi]; compare the parallel pejorative terms Sozi (“socialist, social democrat”), Kozi (“commie, commo, communist”). A homonymic term Nazi was in use before the rise of the NSDAP in Bavaria as a pet name for Ignaz and (by extension from that) a derogatory word for a backwards peasant, which may have influenced the use of that abbreviation by the Nazis' opponents and its avoidance by the Nazis themselves. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈnɑːtsi/, /ˈnætsi/, (historical) /ˈnæzi/ Rhymes: -ɑːtsi, -ætsi, -æzi Hyphenation: Na‧zi === Noun === Nazi (plural Nazis) (historical) A member of the Nazi Party (the National Socialist German Workers' Party or NSDAP).
