Etymology
'collectivist' originates from the word 'collective,' which comes from the Latin word 'collectivus,' meaning 'gathered together.'
'collectivus' transformed into the French word 'collectif,' and eventually became the modern English word 'collective,' from which 'collectivist' is derived.
Initially, it meant 'gathered together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to or advocating collectivism.'
