词汇 doctrinaire
词源
doctrinaire. This word for a pedantic theorist is taken from the nickname of Pierre Paul Royer-Collard (1763–1845), whose political party, in turn named the “Doctrinaires” in his honor, made it their business “to preach a doctrine and an or- thodoxy.” Royer-Collard’s party arose in France in 1815 after the second restoration of Louis XVIII. Moderate royalists, he and his colleagues desired a king who would govern liberally, accepting the results of the French Revolution, and were noted for the rigidity of their arguments. Unattuned to political reali- ties, the “Doctrinaires” were destroyed by a reactionary Charles X in 1830. Before being applied as a nickname to Royer-Collard the word had been the popular name for a reli- gious order founded in 1592. Today doctrinaire is used con- temptuously to describe an inflexible theorist, as distinguished from one who tries to accomplish something within the exist- ing political system.
