SYCOPHANT
sik’o.fant, n. (Orig Latin sycophanta
Greek: sykophantes, false accuser, slanderer, false adviser.
From sykon, fig, and phainein show; the original application of the term being in dispute. A fawning, self-seeking
flatterer; a servile parasite.
(Source: International Web-ster New Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language)
In now times
Adj. neg. Used by leaders and followers of one political or other faction to describe the lack of perspective of leaders and followers of other factions.
The dissident of a faction in the United National Congress (UNC), led by Attorney Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, used the word to describe “loyalists” of party leader Basdeo Panday – in context of servility.
Obviously also applies to many followers of any of the factions/parties in an election. In 2001 election, seems to revert more to original Latin and Greek meanings, as the campaigns increasingly hinge on false accusations, and
slandering, arising from dispute.
