What have you been smoking. Etymology is very interesting, especially when you are able to read and write in another European language.

The bullshit you are dissing up.

Here is where the word nation comes from. Read carefully, as the other side tries to subvert the idea.

nation (n.)

c. 1300, nacioun, "a race of people, large group of people with common ancestry and language," from Old French nacion "birth, rank; descendants, relatives; country, homeland" (12c.) and directly from Latin nationem (nominative natio) "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe," literally "that which has been born," from natus, past participle of nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci), from PIE root *gene-"give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups.

The word is used in English in a broad sense, "a race of people an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family and speaking the same language," and also in a narrower sense, "a political society composed of a government and subjects or citizens and constituting a political unit; an organized community inhabiting a defined territory within which its sovereignty is exercised."

In Middle English it is not easy to distinguish them, but the "political society" sense seems to have emerged by late 14c. and it has gradually predominated. The older sense is preserved in the application of nation to the native North American peoples (1640s). Nation-building is attested by 1907 (implied in nation-building)

There is nothing NAZI in there. The term Nazi is coined by a Jewish journalist, and it was meant as a counter to German slurs for communist. It means in modern vernacular: dumbfuck.

Anybody claiming it is a concatenation for national socialist is a Nazi. A national zionism dumbfuck.

Of course YouTube is the ultimate source for well researched and valid information.

Germany has denazification in it's constitutional law.

Comes from nasci, nat, natio. Which means to be born or just birth.

So where did the English spelling of the word "nation" originate?
